Medical Information:
MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: Sailing as a crew member on a sailing vessel can be physically and mentally demanding, with close living conditions and the possibility of sleep deprivation, extreme weather conditions and sea sickness.
Due to the unique nature of the activity and the fact that we may be away from immediate access to full medical facilities, we regret that we are unable to accept anyone who is pregnant or who is a carrier of a communicable disease (e.g. Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C & HIV). Exceptionally, sufferers from Epilepsy or Diabetes may be considered with GP’s recommendation.
Quaystage Sail Camps and all other programmes offered by Quaystage Training Ltd are not therapeutic programmes. The environment on board is therefore not appropriate for those experiencing mental health problems, substance abuse, self-harm, or eating disorder issues.
We reserve the right to ask for a doctor’s letter at your expense, confirming your fitness to sail with us, and to exclude any person, or restrict their passage to certain voyages, if we feel that they may be at risk.
In order that you may fully enjoy your voyage without putting your health at risk, please answer the following questions honestly and as fully as possible.
It is imperative that you are honest about your medical information. If we have all of the information ahead of time, then we will endeavour to make any reasonable adjustments or arrangements to ensure that you are able to fully participate in the experience. Withholding information at this stage may result in you being asked to leave the vessel at the start of, or during the course of the camp for safety reasons. Medical information is treated in confidence, and shared only with those who need it for the running of your voyage.
