Winning a day sailing as a raffle prize ?

Yes but did she succeed? I could sue you for damages on any spurious accusation that you didn't make. But doesn't mean I was right or would win.

yes but.Does the OP really need all that grief

I don't see that. The winner May have a contract with the organiser but as there has been no consideration paid to the boat owner, there is no contract with him. The winner has just been introduced by the auction and becomes an acquaintance not a client.

An auction creates a contract between the seller and the bidder. The buyer has bought not won it. I think that's the big difference.

You don't need a contract with someone to have responsibilities.

The nightmare is that you get some idiot who does not listen properly and loses a finger in a winch or something.
I think you'd have liabilities if something like that happened.

Not to mention the case where a lady who bought a RTW sailing trip then sued coz she didnt like it

Really? The only vaguely similar case I've seen is the one of the woman who signed up to crew on a RTW race, left half way round, claims she was forced out and has started an action to establish whether the matter can be handled under employment legislation.
