Please read the following carefully before submitting your application

Bray Sailing Club is a recognised Training Centre accredited by Irish Sailing. All courses offered are approved & inspected by Irish Sailing to ensure that the club's courses comply with Irish Sailing guidelines. Visit www.sailing.ie for more info.

All our club safety manuals, policies and assessment including our child safety policy are available to download at www.braysailingclub.ie/about-us/safety-manual

Participants are not permitted to bring any alcohol, matches, lighters, or weapons of any kind to the club.

All participants in water-based courses should be comfortable in water out of their depth, be able to tread water for 2 minutes, and be able to hold their head under water for 10 seconds.

Each participant is responsible for providing their own clothing for sailing in e.g. wetsuit, buoyancy aid, cagoule and appropriate footwear on the water e.g. runners, wetsuit boots. There is a limited amount of club gear available for use . However, to ensure that it has been sanitised and is ready for use, it must be reserved in advance (email training@braysailingclub.ie). A refundable deposit of €50 is also required

Places on courses are limited as we must adhere to a strict instructor-trainee ratio. Places will be allocated strictly on a first come, first served basis. Applications for places are only valid when submitted with payment. Once an application has been accepted and a place on a course allocated, we regret that fees cannot be refunded. If the club is unable to accept an application for any reason, any fees paid will be refunded.

For a sailing course to be as effective as possible, trainees should be on the water as often as possible. Unfortunately, as weather can be unpredictable, this is not always possible. There may be occasions on which we cannot provide shore-based activities, if this happens, refunds will be made for any days cancelled as a result.

All participants are expected to play their part in the effective running of the course. This means participating willingly, following the instructions of instructors, supporting other participants and being respectful, polite and friendly to instructors, other club members, and fellow course members.

Any participant who is found to have "borrowed" another participant's property without permission will be asked to leave the course immediately.

Bullying in any form is strictly prohibited, this includes spreading rumours, name calling, and exclusion as well as the more obvious forms.

If applicable, I confirm that my child's boat is insured against third party liability for a minimum of €1,300,000 to cover my liability in connection with my child's participation on the course and for the period it is parked in the Club.
