Terms and Conditions of Membership

Declaration

I consent to my son(s)/daughter(s)/self taking part in sailing activities at BLYM Sailing Club and Training Centre. He/she/they/I is/am water confident in light clothing and have no undisclosed medical conditions that might endanger him/her/my self or others. I will inform the Duty Warden or Duty Senior Instructor on arrival of any change to the given medical information. I authorise BLYM to approve emergency medical treatment should the need arise. My son(s)/daughter(s)/I will follow the directions of BLYM officers at all times and demonstrate a high regard for seamanship, safety and behaviour. I understand that BLYM may exclude any person acting against its interests. It must be recognised that sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore inherently involves an element of risk. By taking part in activities at BLYM you agree and acknowledge that:
(i) You are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and you accept responsibility for exposing yourself to such inherent risk whilst taking part;
(ii) You will comply at all times with the instructions of the Instructor particularly with regard to handling of boats, wearing of buoyancy aids and the wearing of suitable clothing for the conditions;
(iii) You accept responsibility for any injury, damage or loss to the extent caused by your own negligence;
(iv) You will not participate in the course whilst your ability to participate is impaired by alcohol, drugs or whilst otherwise unfit to participate.
