| If I am a member of another club can I still sail at your club? |
| Yes, we reccommend you do. We are here to provide an avenue for training and a future for your sailing. If you are selected to represent through the Academy we will want you to represent the BBYC Sailing Academy and its values. |
| Can you sail here on a weekend? |
| Yes, as a member it will be your club. |
| Do you reccommend we attend regattas at the expense of training? |
| Yes, if it is a benefit to you. In fact we will help you! You do have to consider your commitment level though - if you don't attend your course you let your team down. |
| How does this work for me? |
| We provide the instructors/coaches. We provide the resources as prescribed. For your individual sailing you will need to purchase or provide your own boat. We can assist you with advice but not funding. |
| What does the school provide? |
| The students. A teacher/manager in charge. Transport. Coordination of participants. A management process for behavioral issues. |
| What do I as a student have to provide? |
| Complete sailing kit for keelboat and dinghy programs including: Wetsuits, winter and summer Rash vest Hikers Dinghy boots Spray top Gloves Hat Beanie Sunglasses Keelboat shoes Keelboat spray top Keelboat spray pants Under clothes suitable for your activities Life vest |
| You may need to purchase further sailing gear appropriate to the sailing you are doing, i.e. if you end up crewing on an offshore yacht. |
| We have wet weather trousers and jackets for the J24 programs but the use of these will be limited, as you really need your own gear. The academy can purchase discounted gear on your behalf but you must provide the funds prior to purchase. |
| Stationary supplies are the student's responsibility. |
| Please note this is not a complete and final dress requirement, the student may require spare sets of clothing to suit and for the conditions. |
| Do you need to buy your own boat? |
| Yes, if you want to sail classes other than the ones the Academy owns e.g. 420 and J24. We can assist you with the purchasing of an appropriate boat and dinghies, like the laser are easy to sell on, as they are very popular. Charter boats are available and easily sourced. |
| Responsibility, Health and Safety? |
| We take a serious view of your safety and personal well being on our programs that we can deal with. You are responsible for your medical insurance and well-being for all other times other than in our programs and even then you are still responsible for your own and others well-being and safety. |
| New Zealand does have a medical system based on ACc hence the requirement for all students to join the club as members. |
| Payment |
| All courses are paid for in full prior to course commencement. Individual billing is the care of the school. |
| Minimum Numbers |
| Student numbers are defined as per the price sheet. Some course numbers are able to be reduced or extended depending on the ratio's and staffing numbers. Please contact us for your requirements if a course is required to still go ahead it will be charged at the course minimum. |
| Damage Deposits |
| These will be required for teams and match racing. Any damage incurred will be repaid by the team or teams at fault. The Academy reserves the right to determine the party/s at fault. |
| A damage deposit of $500.00 for each team will be held by BBYC Academy till the conclusion of activity. Alternatively a credit card number can be supplied for this purpose. |
