Ocean Race Learning/Sail Central Park Youth Sailing Day Registration

Liability Waiver for All Programs and Activities

We are thrilled that you or your child will be participating in or volunteering in one of Rocking the Boat’s  boatbuilding, environmental science, sailing, rowing, or public programs.

Please know that while wooden boatbuilding, water-based environmental science, sailing, and rowing all  involve risks, limiting those risks both in the shop and on the water and ensuring each participant and  volunteer’s safety is our primary concern. All program staff are trained in both the technical elements of  their work and are First Aid and CPR certified. Sailing Program staff are US Sailing Small Boat Instructor  Certified and have New York State and US Coast Guard powerboat driving certifications. All staff and  participants wear life jackets whenever they are on the dock or the water.

Fitness, rules and medical care: You confirm that the participant is physically able to take part in the activities. The participant will follow all safety instructions and program rules, and the Released Parties may remove any participant who does not. You authorize the Released Parties to arrange emergency medical treatment and agree to be responsible for its cost.

Limits, severability and governing law: Nothing in this agreement releases any Released Party from liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct, or from any liability that cannot be released under applicable law. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect and will be given the fullest effect permitted by law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of laws rules, and any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.
