Do any forumites get guests to sign disclaimer letters before they go out sailing. Reading the post about ‘plods boarding’ demonstrates an extraordinary diversity of views about modern society, from Crusty in a parallel universe to some post modern social revivalists. Fortunately most peeps are all normal middle of the road expecting the same respect from authority are is expected of them.
However the letter from parents raises a broader point. When taking part in any commercial ‘hazardous activity’ a bounce waiver would be signed. Do any owners on this BB get guests to sign some form of disclaimer, if so what? Yes I know this would not get round gross negligence but would be very helpful in the case of a genuine accident and a grieving spouse/parent etc.

Never been asked to sign any form of disclaimer when boarding other boats
Wouldn't even contemplate having one on my boat
As with the 'Plod' thread, and the 'Liferaft' thread, and just about any other thread where certain people jump in, I know what I know and what I don't know, I know who to ask for help from and certain people just aren't worth listening to.
Far too much incorrect information spouted as fact just lately.

I think they would feel insulted if we did ask them to sign a disclaimer.

I speak as a complete layman in legal matter, but am sure I have seen mention of the invalidity of disclaimers.
Under EU law you cannot derogate your responsibilities by having them signed away.
Anyway that's another probably bollox point quoted as fact. (see my signature)
