I recognize sailing can be a hazardous sport that can result in serious injury or death. I accept the risks inherent in sailing and its environment.

However, I accept full responsibility for all medical expenses and claims incurred as a result of participation in or travel to and from any activity of CDA Sailing Association, including the Youth Sailing Program.  I also agree to release, hold harmless and indemnify CDA Sailing Association, Panhandle Yacht Club, their advisory councils, officers, members, agents, employees and insurers from any claims brought by the minor for any injury or damage resulting from any cause, including negligence, which arise out of participation in these programs. This release is binding as to any other persons, including family members, heirs, and executors. This release does not apply to gross negligence or intentional acts. I also authorize the program to use photos and quotes of our child in any potential CDA Sailing Publications aimed at raising the awareness of the sport of sailing.
