Langkawi
Sailing School BOOKING CONDITIONS
1
A 25% deposit is payable at the time of booking. This deposit
is non returnable if you cancel. We will then send a Booking
confirmation. The balance is payable in full 6 weeks before
the course. An E-mail reminder for the balance will be sent
to you and joining instructions will be sent on receipt.
If there is less than 6 weeks to go before the cruise or
course date, the fee is payable in full at the time of booking.
2
If for any reason we are unable to run a course we will
refund all
fees paid and our liability will cease thereafter. Short
delays to rectify technical failures or damage to a yacht
are rare but they are a normal risk of sailing. If a delay
exceeds 30 hours Langkawi Sailing School will reimburse
you pro-rata for the time lost. Delays or diversion due
to exceptional weather are very rare and usually quite limited
but in any such case Langkawi Sailing School will be under
no obligation to provide compensation and will have no liability
for consequential loss.
3
If you have to cancel before 6 weeks before the course start date we will refund
the fees paid less the 25% deposit. If you cancel with less than 6 weeks to go
you remain liable for the full amount, although we will try to fill your place
and repay you the fee less deposit should we succeed.
4
RYA Vouchers are acceptable in part or full payment for sailing courses, subject
to a 15% handling charge. (This is the same as the charge made by the RYA to redeem
the voucher).
5
The minimum age for all cruises and courses is 16 years, unless an exception is
agreed in writing. Exceptions may be agreed where a responsible adult accompanies
the minor. Young people under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible
adult.
6
Langkawi Sailing School and Kay Sira Cruising, their servants,
agents and employees are not under any liability whatsoever
in respect of personal injury, loss or damage to effects,
howsoever caused, while you are attending a course. We advise
you to take out suitable Travel Insurance.
7
Langkawi Sailing School is a commercial organisation and
is unable to make refunds of deposits in any circumstances
or of balances in case of late cancellation (unless we fill
the place). We strongly recommend you take out insurance
to cover loss of personal effects, medical expenses and
cancellation.
8
While you are aboard the boat you must accept the authority of the skipper in
all matters concerning the operation of the yacht and the safety of you and all
others aboard.
9
Before booking please ensure that you have honestly declared any illnesses or
disabilities. These will not necessarily preclude you from taking part, but it
is essential to the safety of you and others that the skipper is aware of them.
If new medical conditions arise or existing ones change between booking and sailing,
please advise Langkawi Sailing School in writing or the skipper on joining.
10
Please note that for all offshore sailing except it is customary
for crews to participate in domestic duties aboard including
cooking and light cleaning.
