Details for getting access to Thorney Island Sailing Club

Thorney Island Sailing Club is located on an active Army Base, therefore there are security controls in place for access.

When you arrive at Thorney Island ( Church Road, Thorney Island, Hampshire, PO10 8DS

TISC on Google Maps ) you will first approach the Army security gatehouse.

Entry to the Millennium event will mean you are placed on an access list which will be kept at the gatehouse. You do no not need to get out of your vehicle but please have your photo ID ready for the guard to check, and state that you are here for the Sailing Club Millennium Event. They will then issue you with a pass for the weekend which you must display in the front of your vehicle at all times.

Note: When arriving at the island, it is essential that you come with photo-ID, failure to do so will prevent you gaining access to the base. Please be advised that there is a 20mph speed limit on the whole of the island as soon as you pass through the barrier.

Directions once you have passed through the Army security gate

Once you have passed through the Security gate take the first left, the road will then curve to the right. When the road straightens pass the left hand turn and keep heading straight on with the large hangers on your right. You will then come to a crossroad where you should turn left.

This will take you over the old runway. Now beware of speed humps!! Stay on this road and you will enter a residential area. You will pass the large Army Mess building on your left.

Keep straight on, when you come to the end of the trees on the right turn immediately right into the car park.

14. RISK STATEMENT

Rule 4 of the Racing Rules of Sailing states: The responsibility for a boats decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone.

Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore inherently involves an element of risk. By taking part in the event, each competitor agrees and acknowledges that:

They are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of themselves, their crew and their boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in the event;
They are responsible for the safety of themselves, their crew, their boat, and their other property whether afloat or ashore;
Their boat is in good order, equipped to sail in the event and they are fit to participate.
The provision of a race management team, patrol boats, umpires and other officials and volunteers by the event organiser does not relieve them of their own responsibilities.
The provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances.
It is their responsibility to familiarise themselves with any specific risks to this venue or this event drawn to their attention in any rules and information produced for the event and to attend any safety briefing at the venue.

15. INSPECTIONS: The fact that race officials may conduct inspections of a boat does not reduce the responsibilities set out in this Notice of Race

Each participating boat shall be insured with valid third-party liability insurance with a minimum cover of £3 million per event or the equivalent.
