IMPORTANT NOTICE:

By registering for this program, you acknowledge and accept that sailing is a dangerous sport that carries inherent risks, including the potential for serious injury. One specific risk during this course is head injuries caused by contact with the boom or other equipment, which can occur regardless of a sailor's level of experience or skill.

The safety of each sailor is ultimately their own and their parent's responsibility. This includes taking appropriate precautions to minimise risks, such as wearing a helmet to reduce the likelihood of serious injury.
