Your information will only ever be shared with those who ‘need to know’ eg the skipper of your boat (most details), transport co-ordinator (arrival and departure times), catering staff (food allergies)

We will never pass your personal details to anyone who is not directly involved in the organisation of our events, who doesn’t need to know, or to any external organisation, person or business.

We keep your details secure at all times.

You can email: mail@blindweeksailing.co.uk to request removal of your details from our database at any time.
