Skippers are responsible for ALL parts of the boat (sails, lines, plugs, rudder, spinnaker, spinnaker pole, etc.) and will be charged for replacement costs of any missing items upon the return from regattas. Make certain you take care of your gear! CYC and the Staff are not responsible for gear taken to regattas.
