Should our team find some forgotten items which belongs to clients, we will inform the soonest possible and arrange if/how these things should be returned to client. In any case Anassa Sailing is not to be held responsible for any clients items left behind or lost.

The co-skipper can also hold a sailing certificate, or at least have some sailing experience. To demonstrate that, a formal written statement is signed at spot, where he/she declares that he/she carries open-sea experience in order to assist the skipper (no proof will be required).
