4 Travel Insurance / Passports
a.You must obtain insurance cover suitable for active participation in offshore sailing (more than 12 miles from land) for all voyages other than taster weekends and provide Schoonersail with the details of the insurer, their 24 hour emergency telephone number and your policy number at the start of the voyage. You cannot sail if you are unable to provide Schoonersail with insurance details at the start of the voyage. The insurer you chose must have a 24 hour contact number. It is a very good idea to have a European Health Insurance Card (forms available at Post Offices) which has replaced the old E111. There are links to some insurers on our 'links' web page. You use these at your own risk and agree to check the terms and conditions carefully for yourself. Schoonersail gives no recommendation that these insurers are offering cover that is appropriate for you.
b.You must have a full passport for all foreign voyages and provide your passport details to Schoonersail at the start of the voyage. You cannot sail if you do not have a valid passport with you at the start of any voyage sailing outside of the UK.
c.Schoonersail accepts no responsibility for personal belongings you bring on board - please make sure you are adequately insured.

5 The Voyage
a.You acknowledge that sailing can be a dangerous activity, which can be both physically and mentally challenging, especially in rough weather which can occur at any time during any voyage or Taster weekend.
b.Schoonersail will make every effort not to change or cancel any advertised voyage however reasons beyond our control including (but not limited to) unsuitable weather can make this necessary; therefore ports of joining, leaving and ports of call are not guaranteed. If a voyage is canceled prior to the advertised start date all voyage fees paid will be refunded in full but Schoonersail, the skipper and/or crew shall otherwise have no liability whatsoever for the vessel not fulfilling or completing the advertised itinerary.
