Behavioral problems will not be tolerated. First time offenders will not be allowed to participate in their chosen activity for an appropriate period of time. Repeat offenders will be expelled.
In the unlikely event of significant damage to boats, sail, spars or other equipment, the responsible student/parent is expected to pay for reasonable repairs.
Notice of cancellation must be made at least five weeks prior to the start of the session to receive a full refund. Notice of cancellation after that time will result in a 50% refund. There will be no refunds after a session begins. Refunds are subject to a $25 fee.
The coaching staff is committed to keeping an open line of communication with the student/athletes and their parents or legal guardian. We will do our best to address any concern or questions promptly through the correct means of communication. Please note that different types of communication are best for different situations. Mass communications and group information will most often be disseminated via email. Individual concerns and questions (even if they may concern the group) are best discussed over the phone or in person.
Often, concerns can be easily addressed via phone first. Should calling not solve the issue, pre-arranged meetings or conferences are often the best way to handle concerns. This allows parents and coaches to sit down, read the situation correctly, receive feedback, and to solve issues conclusively. Please schedule meetings or conferences ahead of time to avoid any conflicts with practice or other projects. Email should be avoided for any issue that may be contentious.
DRYC is not responsible for lost or stolen personal gear. Students are not allowed to leave personal gear at the sailing center, there is no storage available. We do not have a lost and found at DRYC. Please put names and phones number on everything!
While dropping off or picking up students, please pull all of the way into the lot on the right so as not to block the flow of incoming traffic. Students who drive and wish to park in the west lot must obey all parking lot rules. Vehicles must enter and exit the parking lot in slow speed and no loud music is to be played. Vehicles must be parked along the north and middle of the lot only. No parking in the reserved spots. DRYC is not responsible for any damage to vehicles or theft while driving or parked in the west lot.
Please keep in mind that DRYC is not equipped or staffed to supervise students once practice has ended. Please be prompt in picking up your child as soon as their class has ended.
At practice and events, sailors are expected to treat equipment with the utmost care. No sailor will be allowed to leave practice or a regatta before all equipment, including that used by their teammates, is put away in its proper place. While traveling to other venues, sailors are responsible for leaving borrowed equipment in a state better than it was found. If sailors need to leave a practice or regatta early and cannot fulfill the aforementioned responsibilities, they must provide advanced warning and request the help of their teammates in fulfilling their responsibilities.
The coaching staff is responsible for the coordination of towing sailboats to events. The team may use class time to load boats onto the trailer. Trailer space will be provided on a first come, first serve basis.
If there is a failure to have a representative willing to load boats present at the specified time, the respective boats may not be loaded..
