Insurance

Insurance & Risk Statement


The World Ocean Series is an independent event and does not provide WorkCover or equivalent athlete coverage. We carry a limited liability insurance policy, but all athletes enter and compete entirely at their own risk.


We take every reasonable step to manage hazards and deliver the safest possible event; however, it is ultimately the responsibility of each athlete — or their parent/guardian — to ensure they are capable, prepared, and safe in the conditions they choose to race in.


This is an active, high-risk sport, and we strongly encourage all athletes to hold private health insurance.


If you require clarification regarding an incident or our coverage, please contact support@worldoceanseries.com.
