CAPTAIN’S RESPONSIBILITY The safety of a yacht and her crew is the sole and inescapable responsibility of the captain, who must ensure that the yacht is sound, seaworthy, and manned by an experienced crew who are physically fit. The Captain must further ensure that all equipment is properly maintained and stowed, and that the crew knows where it is and how to use it. It is also the sole and exclusive responsibility of the captain to decide whether or not to start or continue a race.
