Ocean Sailing Adventures — Release and Indemnification Agreement

Blue-Water Passage & Passagemaking Training

1. I wish to fully participate as working crew/passenger on a training charter passage being operated by Ocean Sailing Adventures, and I acknowledge that my participation in the training charter is completely voluntary.
2. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS INVOLVED WITH OFFSHORE BOATING, including, but not limited to, equipment failure, perils of the sea, adverse weather conditions, harm caused by other vessels, acts of fellow participants, entering and exiting the water, boarding or disembarking boats, and activities on the docks.
3. I fully assume responsibility for my own safety — including, without limitation, following all directions of the vessel's captain and mate/crew — while participating in the training charter, and I verify that I am physically fit and able to participate.
4. I fully understand that the vessel has limited medical facilities and that in the event of illness or injury, appropriate medical care must be summoned by radio or other means and that treatment may be delayed until I can be transported to a proper medical facility. I agree in advance to these conditions.
5. I understand that Ocean Sailing Adventures has made clear that the Captain is trained in Basic First Aid and that medical knowledge is limited. Ocean Sailing Adventures will maintain, at a minimum, a proper basic/offshore medical kit that meets Basic First Aid training standards. In the event I show signs of distress or call for aid, I would like assistance rendered and will not hold any person or entity responsible for their good-faith actions in attempting rescue or first aid.
6. Having read this waiver, I agree to RELEASE FROM LIABILITY AND HOLD HARMLESS Ocean Sailing Adventures, along with its respective officers, directors, employees, owners, members, managers, affiliates, agents, representatives, attorneys, heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns; all individuals associated with the training charter; and all individuals and entities having an interest in the vessel used for the training charter; from any and all liability, claims, demands, equitable relief, damages, costs, expenses, and causes of action of any kind or character, of any type or nature whatsoever (including negligence), arising out of or related to the training charter.
7. I authorize Ocean Sailing Adventures to use any photographs, personal narrative, interviews, or audio and video recordings of my participation in the training charter for any and all marketing purposes, without compensation to me.
8. I, the Participant, have carefully read and understand this Agreement and all of its terms. I understand that I am assuming risks. I understand that this is a release of liability and that I am giving up substantial legal rights. I enter into this Agreement freely and voluntarily and agree that it is binding upon me, my heirs, assigns, and representatives.
