COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocols and Policies
DC Sail is dedicated to the health, safety and wellbeing of our youth sailors and their families. With the guidance of US Sailing, CDC, and local governmental health entities, we have developed strong sanitation and procedural protocols for our operations and continue to have in-force. All staff are fully trained in these procedures, will be wearing face coverings, and sanitizing equipment, docks, surfaces, and the fleet after each usage.
With concern for the health and safety of your sailor, other students, and our staff, as you prepare for the season and for the duration, we respectfully request that sailors follow the COVID-19 recommendations for wearing face coverings in public where required, wash hands frequently, and please limit time spent in large groups.
Please review the following COVID-19 information carefully for how we will manage our program to assure a safe environment for your sailor:
Life Jackets and Face Coverings:
All attendees are required to wear face coverings while on the docks though they may remove their face covering while on the water. All sailors will be required to have their own personal life jackets. We have ceased the usage of shared DC Sail life jackets.
Health and Wellness Protocols:
If a sailor is not feeling well or have other members of the household who are ill, they will not be permitted to attend practices or any regatta activities. We will be unable to provide partial refunds for missed days during the season, which has always been our policy and is especially important this year.
Sailors (and Staff) may have non-contact temperature screenings upon arrival. Any sailor not feeling well or with a temperature while at DC Sail will be isolated and sent home as soon as possible.
Any sailor that has positive tested for COVID-19, or has been in close proximity to someone who has the virus, will be unable to attend and only permitted to return after they are fully cleared by a physician and a documented negative COVID-19 test. No refunds will be issued.
In the case of a positive test for COVID-19 or self-quarantine, notification to DC Sail of the sailor’s situation should be relayed to DC Sail as soon as it is confirmed.
Thank you!
