ensure the safety of all participants in our voyages the
Applicant should understand that sailing can be a
hazardous activity.

condition or allergy which might suddenly incapacitate you, or
you might be pregnant, or you have recently been discharged
from hospital, it might be highly dangerous to go to sea – if in

above or other ailments, a doctor’s note will be necessary. It
should state, in plain language, the condition and drugs used.

your regular medication ineffective.

dosage for the voyage, and that your doctor has advised the
appropriate brand of anti-seasickness remedy to take. If you
wear spectacles or contact lenses you are advised to bring a
spare pair of spectacles for the voyage.
