VISITOR POLICY
MHASC welcomes visitors to its site at The Spit, Middle Harbour, and to potentially join in sailing activities.
- Visitors wishing to use the MHASC facilities should be sponsored by a member.
- Visitors who do not know a member should contact the Commodore – see ‘Contact Us’ on MHASC website.
- Visitors seeking to use the Club Laser will be asked to sign a ‘Terms and Conditions’ form.
- Visitors not a member of any other sailing club can sail with the club up to 5 times at $10/day by purchasing a SailPass. SailPass will provide you with Australian Sailing Personal Accident Insurance. Please email the Secretary to arrange.
- Visitors agree that they will not hold the Club or its Officers liable for any injury to persons, or damage to equipment, in the event of a mishap on the water, or on the Club’s premises.
- Visitors who join in Club races do so entirely at their own risk, and their results are not recorded unless they subsequently join the Club.
- Visitors acknowledge that the Club does not and cannot provide dedicated rescue facilities. Attention is drawn to Racing Rules of Sailing, (RRS) Rule 4 Decision to Race: The responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a race, or to continue racing, is hers alone.
- Visitors acknowledge that insurance for person and property, including third party liability, is their own responsibility.
- Visitors seeking to use the Club facilities for more than a day should refer to the Commodore or Secretary for terms and requirements. A daily or weekly financial contribution to MHASC may be required. This does not entitle visitors to store boats, equipment or have access to a Club key unless specific arrangements are agreed.
