Safety is always the first priority in the PCYF Sailing Program. To minimize the chance of injury, PCYF personnel check the boats, docks, and training area daily for hazards and eliminate such hazards by repairing and/or reporting to the appropriate person or agency. Sailing is a physical, water-based activity with inherent risks, which will be pointed out to Students during the Program and through adherence to the Behavioral Rules and Guidelines (below). Stubbed toes, bumps, bruises, splinters, and more serious injuries, including possible death, may occur from tripping or falling on the docks or in the training facility, improper use of boats, rough-housing, running on the docks, or other causes. On behalf of myself and the Student, I agree to make no claims against the County of Ventura, including all departments, agencies, and employees associated with the County of Ventura, or against Pacific Corinthian Youth Foundation (PCYF) or any of its officers, directors, members, agents, employees, or associated yacht clubs, including, but not limited to, Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club (PCYC), for any loss of, or damage or injury to any person or persons, including the Student, or property, and to protect and indemnify PCYF and its officers, directors, members, agents, employees, or associated yacht clubs, including, but not limited to, PCYC, against liability for any loss, damage, or injury caused or incurred by the Student. On behalf of myself and the Student, I understand and voluntarily assume all risks related to participation. In the event of illness or injury occurring to the Student while participating in the PCYF Sailing Program, I hereby authorize the Pacific Corinthian Youth Foundation (PCYF), its agents, employees, or representatives, to secure medical care and treatment for the Student as deemed necessary in their discretion. I further agree to assume all responsibility for and to pay any and all costs associated with such medical care, including but not limited to ambulance transport, hospitalization, physician services, and prescribed medications. I acknowledge that a reasonable effort will be made to contact me prior to initiating such care, if circumstances allow. This agreement and any dispute arising out of or relating to this waiver shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. The parties agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in Ventura County, California, and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

The Pacific Corinthian Youth Foundation (PCYF) Sailing Program is built around the US Sailing Association’s philosophy of “safety, fun, learning.” These Behavioral Rules and Guidelines are intended to assure a safe, rewarding, and fun learning environment for all Students. It is important for the Student and Parent/Guardian to review and agree to obey these Rules and Guidelines together before the first class. Consequences for not following them may include time-out, temporary loss of privileges, or suspension from the program. Repeated or severe violations may result in dismissal from the remainder of the session with no refund of tuition fees.
