Appendix 1 to the General Terms and Conditions published on the website https://dubai.windrises.com/
These Rules are part of this Terms and Conditions for the provision of the Service Provider 's services. Compliance with these rules is mandatory for all persons attending sailing training.
Your participation in the training organized by the Service Provider confirms your acceptance of and your readiness to comply with the rules set out below.
When boarding a yacht, you must be aware of the risks and the most significant hazards, comply with the personal and collective safety rules set forth below. The matter of fact following these rules does not exempt the briefed person from the need to apply common prudence and common sense. Underaged persons must comply with safety rules, and the parents or authorized representatives accompanying them shall be responsible for this.
Personal Safety
Falling overboard. One of the greatest dangers on board the yacht. When the yacht is in motion, always stay in the safe zone — the cockpit. It is strictly forbidden to go outside the cockpit without permission and constant control of the helmsman. Moving on the deck, you must keep in mind the possibility of a sudden accidental transition of the sails to the other side: you should move, leaning below the lower edge of the sails; while on the foredeck, stay on the inside of both staysail sheets. Rigging on the deck and in the cockpit also poses a danger, because if you step on a round rope, you may easily slip. Sails have a very slippery fabric, so it is advisable not to step on them when handling sails. Wear a life jacket before entering the water area. The life jacket may be removed only with the permission of the captain. Non-swimmers (persons who cannot swim freestyle 100 meters in the swimming pool without a break) must not remove the life jacket all the time onboard outside the interior (does not apply to yachtsmen athletes).
Boom. The transition of the boom (a horizontal aluminum pipe, to which the lower edge of the large sail is attached) poses a huge danger, especially when sailing downwind, i.e. with a fair wind. All the time when sailing, if you are in the area of the boom transition, keep below its level. If you hear the command "BOOM!", immediately duck down to the deck. Warn other crew members in the danger zone.
Moving on the yacht while sailing. On the deck, always wear special deck shoes that provide a reliable grip of the sole with wet plastic. The shoes should completely cover your feet and toes. Crocs, flip-flops, slippers, open toe and heelless shoes, high heels, platform shoes, shoes with a plastic slippery sole, etc. are dangerous, as they can result in leg injury and falling overboard. You must move on the deck according to the climbers' principle: at all times, use three points of support. Hold on to the fixed reliable structures: standing (iron) rigging — shrouds, stays, as well as hand ropes, pulpits. Never hold on to running rigging, like ropes. While going below to the cabin, always face the ladder to avoid falling back on the steps.
Handling ropes, cleats, winches. Always wear functional gloves while handling the rigging. Take up the slack of the running rope through the cleat or by making two or three turns on the winch (depending on the load). When easing or heaving in the rope through the winch, keep your hands at a distance of at least 30-40 cm from the winch drum. Be careful when handling the cleats. Do not wrap the ropes on your hands or other parts of your body.
Collective Security
Man overboard! The first person to see a man fall overboard shall loudly give the command “Man overboard!” If the fallen person was not wearing a life jacket, throw them a life jacket or other floating object so that they can remain afloat. The captain (helmsman) must immediately appoint a "lookout" who shall continuously watch the fallen person and show the direction to them with an outstretched hand. This is necessary, as the crew members involved in the steering may lose the correct direction to the fallen person. The outstretched arm of the "lookout" serves as a good guide. The fallen overboard shall be lifted from the stern. The person in the water must be approached at a low speed. The person in the water should be leeward from the yacht. Prepare a hitcher (boat hook) and a life line (rope).
If you fall overboard, don't panic. Get more air in your lungs. If you wear no life jacket and you have not been thrown a life jacket or other floating object, or if all these items are quickly fetched off from you by the wind, if you find it hard to swim, then get rid of heavy clothing (jacket, oilskin, etc.) and heavy shoes (boots). If you hold on water well in clothes, especially in cold water, then keep your clothes on, because even wet clothes and shoes help to keep warm and avoid hypothermia.

1. Please note that due to the limited number of seats on sports yachts in our "fleet", you may register for a sailing training only on a prepayment basis.
In connection with the above, we ask you to pay special attention to the conditions for refunding payment for attending group training sessions in case of your refusal to attend the training session, as well as the conditions for postponing the training session:
The essence of a group training is that the combined expenses (expenses for finding partners in the group, arranging for the rental of a sports yacht, coach services, renting a sports ground) are divided between 5 people in the group, thus, the costs of training in the group for each of the group members become relatively cheaper than individual training. In case of your untimely refusal to attend a group training at the last moment, the Service Provider's expenses for organizing a group training are equal to the cost of the training itself, since the administrator has already done his/her job of gathering the group, the coach has already refused other training offers and is ready to conduct the training, and the sports yacht has already been rented. We may not increase the cost of training for other group members in proportion to the smaller number of people in the group. Thus, if you do not attend a group training, you will have to pay the training costs anyway.
However, we guarantee a 100% refund of the fee if you have notified the administrator of the impossibility of attending the training in a timely manner. In this case, you can get the money back.
2. Timely cancellation of the training by the Client is considered to be a cancellation made by the Client at least 72 (seventy-two) hours before the commencement of the provision of services. If the Client cancels the training less than 72 (seventy-two) hours before the start of the provision of services without good cause, the prepayment shall not be refunded, except in accordance with Clause 3 of this Appendix.
3. If the Client cancels the training less than 72 (seventy-two) hours prior to the commencement of the provision of services for valid reasons, the refund shall be made in full, provided that there is documentary evidence of good cause, like a medical certificate of illness, injury and other medical indications that impede participation in the training. Other good reasons can be justified and confirmed by the Client and shall remain at the discretion of the Service Provider.
4. The Client may postpone the date/time of the provision of services to any other free time for recording as agreed with the Service Provider, but no later than 48 (forty-eight) hours before the start of the training. If the date/time of the training is postponed at the initiative of the Client, the Client undertakes to pay the Service Provider for the postponement of the training in the amount of 10% of the amount of the previously accepted service.
