Vancouver Sailing Meetup

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Let's go sailing! I have a 27' well-maintained sail boat. I'm available for sailing on Saturday/Sunday afternoons from 11am-4pm. I can take up to 6 people. I have years of sailing experience and there are lifejackets for everyone. You can bring your own food/drink (no alcohol). Donations of $15-20 per person are welcomed.
Due to changes in my insurance it is necessary for everyone to read and accept the following activity liability waiver:
VANCOUVER SAILING MEETUP ACTIVITY LIABILITY WAIVER

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

I AM /WE ARE AWARE OF THE RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH SAILING AND I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND LOSS RESULTING THEREFROM.
