What If I Have A Health Condition or Take Medication?
Having a medical condition, special medication or medical apparatus does not necessarily prevent you from participating fully in an RYA course, but you should talk to us before booking if you have any concerns.
Previous customers have included those who have deafness, blindness, artificial limbs Type 1 Diabetes and require daily blood-tests and injections (including cold-storage of medication), sufferers of Sleep Apnoea who use special equipment and those who require regular access to toilet facilities, especially at night. We have even had some customers with artificial limbs - none of the above are barriers to full participation and our Professional RYA Instructors ensure everyone is included and catered for.
It is extremely important that you tell your RYA Course Instructor if you have any allergies or other medical conditions that may affect your health and wellbeing whilst on-board a ScotSail® RYA Practical Sail Cruising Course.
In addition, many customers have specific dietary requirements or tastes, such as requiring wheat or gluten-free produce, or they need to ensure that they keep an allergy-safe diet, for example. Because we let you choose the food products, paid for by ScotSail®, rather than us attempt to make purchases we think you will enjoy, most dietary requirements can be catered for.
You can also bring your own supplies to keep in your cabin, or labelled separately and stored in our on-board refridgerators or food-freezers. You should be aware, however, that due to the unique environment we operate in, we cannot absolutely guarantee that the food-preparation and consumption facilities will not have been used previously to prepare such produce. In addition, we cannot guarantee that such facilities are suitable for faith-based food preparation regimens (e.g. Halal / Kosher) etc.
