INFORMATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT & LIABILITY WAIVER - In registering for this sailing school program, I acknowledge that: I have read, in its entirety, the Terms of Service. I understand the CANSail certification system and the skills required for certification to be achieved. Enrolment in a course does not guarantee certification at any level. Sailing and other related activities may be hazardous and could expose participants to increased levels of risk, and I voluntarily assume these risks as a registering student. I agree that I will be operating a vehicle and as such will not be under the influence of any mind-altering substance. I hereby release the Fanshawe Yacht Club, the sailing school, the Club members, officers, directors, employees and volunteers from all liability, claims and causes of action of any kind in respect of any personal injury, loss of property or loss of life arising out of the activities of the school. I have carefully read this waiver and I fully understand that I am freely executing same. I further understand that by agreeing to this waiver, I am prevented from any claim against the school and its parties. COURSE PROGRESSION CANSail levels are grouped into each course offered at the FYCSS, with students potentially working toward different levels (for example, in the A1 course, one student may be working toward his/her CANSail Level 1 while another, more experienced student works toward his/her CANSail Level 2). Students work toward 1 (one) level at a time. Some students may progress faster depending on their knowledge, skill and past experience. Enrolment in a course does not guarantee certification at any level. CLOTHING & PERSONAL ITEMS Students need to be dressed appropriately for the weather. At all times on shore and on the water, shorts or swim trunks must be worn. At all times on shore, a shirt going past waist length must be worn. Students should also consider bringing the following to each class: Appropriate clothes for the forecasted weather (jacket, rainwear). Complete change of dry clothes (just in case). Swimsuit, towel, hat, waterproof sunscreen, sunglasses (and retaining strap). Proper footwear. Shoes protect toes and are better than sandals. Flip-flops are not permitted to be worn while on a boat or dock. Notebook and pen (for taking notes during on shore instruction). Valuables should not be brought to class (e.g., phones, cameras, watches, jewellery). These items can be too easily dropped overboard or damaged by the water. Also, the FYCSS cannot be held responsible for valuables left unattended in the buildings or on the dock during a class. SAFETY & WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS Safety is the top priority of the FYCSS. Each student is required to wear an approved PFD at all times while in a boat or on a dock. Our programs continue rain or shine. While the FYCSS building provides rain shelter, foul weather gives students the opportunity to learn a number of necessary points outside. Proper dress for such days is essential (warm clothes, foul weather gear, rubber boots). In any training environment for sailing, a degree of boat-to-boat contact is inevitable. However, most contact is avoidable. Students are strongly reminded that every boat must make every reasonable effort to avoid collisions, even if it has right-of-way, and even in light winds. REFUND POLICY Refunds (less a $55.00 service charge) will be allowed up to 14 days prior to the start date of each course, subject to confirmation with the School Director. Refunds requested at a later date will require a medical certificate (presented no later than 30 days from the end of the course) and will be prorated by the number of classes taken. No refunds will be given once 50% of the session is completed. Students or parents must notify the School immediately of any medical occurrence. No refunds can be made due to poor weather conditions. ARRIVING FOR CLASS Please plan to arrive at the School (within the Fanshawe Yacht Club grounds) around 15 minutes before your class start time. Presentation of your course receipt at the Park gate will grant you free entrance into the Fanshawe Conservation Area. The route is well signed. Follow the road across the dam. At the fork in the road, go to the right and follow the main road through the campgrounds. The gate for the Club is marked by a sign indicating a right hand turn. The FYCSS boathouse is just inside the gate on the left. Vehicles may be parked on the grass at the side of the boathouse. Detailed directions to the Club are available on the Club web site: www.LondonSailing.ca STUDENT ABSENCES & MAKE-UP CLASSES With the CANSail Program, certification at any level is dependent on the presence of required skills regardless of how much time was invested by each student. Therefore, absences will not result in a student being denied certification, however, absences greatly reduce the ability of students to obtain and consistently perform the required skills. Instructors are not required to re-teach a lesson for any student missing a class. Make-up classes will NOT be made for individual students under any circumstances. Make-up classes are not offered for classes cancelled due to weather; skills that would have been covered will be taught in a subsequent class. If advance notice of an absence from class is possible, students should inform the FYCSS by the morning of the class that will be missed. A phone call or note only takes a moment and is greatly appreciated by the Instructors. ADVISEMENT OF INSTRUCTOR TRAINEES During a course, certified instructors may be accompanied by Instructor Trainees, or "I.T.s". These volunteers are qualified sailors working toward their teaching certifications and contribute their time, effort and experience to assist the students and the instructor when possible. MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT SCHOOL STAFF SHOULD BE AWARE OF: The student takes full responsibility for their health and confirms that the activities of the sailing school should not aggravate any known medical conditions. The student will inform the school staff of any condition that might develop or manifest during the period of the sailing course. PHOTOGRAPHIC / VIDEO RECORDINGS CONSENT During a course, photographs or video recordings may be taken by Instructors or FYCSS volunteers for use on websites or other media outlet, printed mementoes, or future marketing material, at any time. Consent is assumed for each student through the act of registering in an FYCSS course. If you do not wish any such photographs/videos to be used for such purposes, please inform the Instructor, in writing, no later than the first day of sailing of the 1st session of the summer. MARKETING FYCSS’s mission is to build a long term financially viable sailing club that provides sailing activities, facilities, and training in accordance with the needs of our members and the community now and in the future. To that end, FYCSS may use your personal information for the purposes of direct marketing communications to you in relation to promotional activities. FYCSS will provide an express option for you to decline receiving any further marketing communications, via an opt out mechanism. At any time, you may also notify us if you do not wish to receive marketing materials or other communications from FYCSS. We do not sell, lease, rent or otherwise disclose your personal data to third parties. SAIL CANADA INFORMATION RELEASE Contact information for each student must be shared with Canada's national authority on sailing, Sail Canada, so that they can log student progress and issue CANSail certifications. Under no circumstances will student names or information be shared for commercial purposes.
