Health + Safety

Each club has its own detailed safety and conduct policy. Please refer to your club’s policy for specific procedures, reporting contacts, and event rules.

Health

Look out for fellow sailors, and let others know what you need. If you’re feeling unwell, please rest and join us when you’re better.


Respectful Community

  • Speak and listen with respect, on the water and off.
  • Use welcoming, inclusive language in person and online.
  • Honour different experience levels, backgrounds, and perspectives.
  • Stay open to feedback and growth.
  • Oops, did you cross the line? A sincere apology is essential for maintaining trust and respect in any relationship.

Behaviour & Harassment

The following is not tolerated at any club, event, or online space:

  • Unwelcome sexual or physical advances, contact, or gestures
  • Harassment, bullying, or derogatory comments based on race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, ability, sexuality, or identity
  • Conduct that endangers others on or near the water
  • Theft, damage to property or vessels, or any form of violence

Reporting

If something doesn’t feel right, trust that feeling. Speak to an officer at your club, or reach out through our website. We’ll listen without judgment and help you find next steps.
