Service Description
Fridays 4-7pm/sunset Every Friday starting September 12th to October 31st except no racing on October 17th. Must have completed Opti Beginners or equivalent class. Students can use GBSA equipment or use their own boat and equipment. Ages 8-18. 16 Participants $200 Sailors should report to the CJ Buckley Building for briefing on the day's conditions and plan at 4pm to then rig and sail out at about 4:20pm. Sailors can arrive as early as 3:30pm to begin rigging. Most evenings will consist of 15-20 minute races around a course with each fleet getting its own start and sequence. Races will be low stress with no recorded results with the goal of improving as sailors. Race night will be for mixed ages so inappropriate language or behaviors will not be tolerated at all - students who can not abide by this policy will have their parent/guardian called and they will be dismissed. Fall sailing conditions are typically very reasonable, but when they are not then it can be dangerous to be out on the water because of the lower water temperatures - we reserve the right to cancel any class without needing to do a make up class with no refund - we will explore options to make up the class if it is possible.
Cancellation Policy
WITHDRAWAL AND REFUND POLICY GBSA’s operational budget is entirely based on the tuition we collect each season. As a non profit, we aim to keep enrollment costs as low as possible while being able to fund our operation from year to year. As such, we can only offer limited refunds for customers in specific cases. Please read the policies below for more information and contact the Program Director at director@gbsa.info with any questions. REFUND DUE TO VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL: From registration opening - March 31st: 100% refund (minus 5% transaction fee) March 31st - June 1st: 50% refund (minus 5% transaction fee) After June 1st: No refund can be provided PLEASE NOTE: We do not prorate for any missed sailing time. You may contact the Program Director to inquire about setting up a make-up day, but this is not guaranteed. REFUND DUE TO AN EMERGENCY: Please contact the GBSA Treasurer at treasurer@gbsa.info and explain the cause for cancellation. We will work with you to find a fair solution. CHANGING CLASSES: Whenever possible, we will accommodate class changes for your sailor. If we are unable to move your student into another class due to capacity reasons, and you therefore need to unenroll your sailor, we will process requests using the policies outlined above. CANCELLATIONS ON OUR BEHALF: If, for any reason, we need to cancel a class or reduce its capacity, we will notify you of this and will fully refund affected registrations starting May 15th in the order in which they were received (newest to oldest).
