Cancellation Policy For all course registrations, including youth classes, the following cancellation policy applies: For private sailing lessons and boatbuilding classes, the cancellation policy outlined at the time of booking and in the confirmation email is enforced. Cancellation/change outside of 45 days = full refund less a non-refundable $15 admin fee. Cancellation/change within 45 – 7 days prior to start date = a $15 admin fee and tuition credit for the remaining balance toward a course within the same calendar year.
