The discipline policy for administering the Club Code of Conduct provides that each sailor shall have three “infringements” with regard to any of the above behaviours, as follows:

First “infringement”–

Your parents will be called by the instructor and the transgression will be reported. This will be recorded on your file and the Program Director will be notified.

Second “infringement”-

You and your parents will be asked to meet with the instructor and the Program Director to discuss the first and second transgressions and to make a plan to avoid any further misbehaviour. The notes from this meeting will also be documented in your file. Third “infringement”- will be immediate dismissal.

We will notify parents to collect their child. You will no longer be welcome in the program. The definition of an “infringement”, is as set out above and as implemented by the class instructor and the Program Director. No refund will be given for a discipline-based dismissal. The Sailing Committee reserves the right to expel a sailor from the program with no appeal.
