CUYC members will not be held responsible for any costs related to general wear and tear of the yacht or equipment, and the club will cover these in full. Nor will members be liable for any costs incurred during actions taken in the interests of safety.
Where negligence has resulted in the damage of the club yacht or equipment, then the Skipper of the club-owned yacht at the time would be responsible to pay for the costs, as they have agreed when registering with CUYC as a skipper.
All Members are prohibited from smoking or vaping on board at any time. If damage is caused to the yacht by smoking or vaping, this will be charged in full to the Member concerned.
For damages incurred on yachts chartered (not owned) by the club then financial responsibility is assumed to be shared across all crew members. In other circumstances, for example sailing on affiliate-member owned yachts or otherwise, then these are not assumed to be official CUYC-run trips and participants should agree financial responsibilities beforehand. Please see the full Damages Policy in Section C of the CUYC Regulations.
There are very few extra costs. Usually we eat and drink on board but we sometimes have a few meals in restaurant onshore and go to pubs ashore. Still, nothing fundamentally different than what you would spend in Cambridge.
Whilst every effort will be made to refund the trip fee to a member if they choose to drop out of a trip or event, each event must break even and significant sums of money often have to be committed well in advance of knowing if the member drops out. Therefore, in the case of both trips, training courses, and all other events for which there is a fee, it is necessary for members to recognise that once they have committed themselves to such trip/event/course, it may not be possible to offer any refund. If a refund is offered it may be partial or in kind and may be subject to certain ties.
Please ensure that you send payment for trips and other events as soon as possible to ensure we can maintain our cashflow. Also, we won't be able to confirm your place on an event unless you pay the full trip fee, so this is another very good reason for paying straight away!
All payments to the club should be sent via Paypal. If you have extenuating circumstances that make the use of Paypal impossible, please email the CUYC Purser at purser@cuyc.org.uk for help.
You will find the paypal link at the top of the event page, once your place has been reserved.
If you have an outstanding club balance, for recent trip expenses perhaps, you will find a link to pay that balance off on your account statement page.
