If the vessel is on delivery they authorise us to skipper the craft & undertake to secure the consent of the insurers to this agreement – with respect to the ‘covid-19’ restrictions, distance between instructor and yourself should be maintained at 2m, this may increase the time taken for an instructor to access the controls and should be born in mind by yourselves. • The client undertakes to secure the consent of the insurers to this agreement • Where marina fees/short stay charges etc. are incurred these are the responsibility of the client. • The client will ensure their boat is in an appropriate mechanical state for the course to be run.
