Medical conditions
— Collect medical information from participants and ensure that medications such as inhalers or EpiPens are on hand. Instructors should be trained in handling medical emergencies.
Overcrowded waters
— Schedule sessions during less busy times and allocate specific sailing zones to avoid collisions. Clearly define the boundaries of the sailing area.
Manual handling of boats and equipment
