Junior Sailing Release Form

* Note: Both the student and a parent or legal guardian must read and sign this form before the student may participate.

Sailing, like most sports involves an element of risk to injury. Students will be sailing in water deeper than they can stand, a sudden wind gust could cause their boat to capsize, parts of the boat can cause injury, and exposure to the elements, if not properly prepared can cause problems. The gulf water environment contains many sharp objects such as oyster shells and other debris.

In an effort to make sailing classes as safe as possible, students will be instructed in rules which will reduce the risks. It is vital that the students follow the directions of the instructors and the Youth Sailing Program rules.

The head instructor is trained in risk management and coaching by the U.S. Sailing Association. He is also current in Red Cross Standard First Aid and CPR.

We have read the above information concerning the risk involved in sailing. We understand and assume the risk involved in participating in the sailing classes.

We will abide by the rules of the Emerald Coast Sailing Association, Youth Sailing Program and those rules established for the program. We hereby release the Emerald Coast Sailing Association,the Fort Walton Yacht Club, the Pensacola Beach Yacht Club, and their officers, members, instructors, employees, and volunteers from any liability arising from or connected with participation in the sailing class.
