Registering for A Program

Registration for Summer and fall programs is open. We have updated our forms so that you can complete them on your computer. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 or later in order to submit forms this way. We will accept copies by e-mail of the new forms, but due to legal considerations the Medical Form and General Waiver must bear an actual signature. If you submit those forms by e-mail, you must arrange to sign them at the office, or deliver a printed and signed copy to us before the start of the program. We'd appreciate an electronic copy, as it lessens our paperwork. Of course we will still accept completed forms through the mail, if you prefer. Click the link below to connect to Adobe's download site to get the latest vesion of Acrobat Reader.

You may register for any of SailMaine's sailing programs or classes by downloading our registration forms and mailing them, completely filled out including signatures, with a check for the program fee to:

SailMaine
58 Fore Street
Portland, Maine 04101.

You may also pay securely on-line with a credit card using Google Checkout. Just click the appropriate Google Checkout link below to use this payment method. You can use your existing Google account, or create a new one at the Google Checkout page that opens after you click.

You must fill out one of each of the following forms for every participant:

Medical Form (.pdf)
General Waiver (.pdf)

Table of Fees September 1, 2007 through September 1, 2008:

Summer Champs:
We are participants in the Libra Foundation's SUMMER CHAMPS program, and welcome participants utilizing this wonderful gift. Simply write your Summer Champs number on our registration form, pay nothing, and send in all three forms to reserve your spot (if Summer Champs is not paying for the entire fee, please remit the balance at time of registration). If you do not yet know your Summer Champs number, simply check the box that indicates that your Summer Champs number is pending on our registration form and send it in. There is no need to make a deposit if Summer Champs is paying your whole fee. We are Summer Champs camp number 351.

Fee Waivers:

Other full and partial scholarships are offered for the Junior Sailing and High School Sailing programs through SailMaine, Portland Parks and Recreation, and private donors. Please contact Sailing Master Jeff Cumming (sailmail AT sailmaine DOT org or 650-4033) with questions about scholarships. Do not let financial issues prevent your young sailor from sailing: we can help. You may download the Fee Waiver Application here.

Refund/Cancellation Policy

A full refund will be granted if request is made more than three (3) weeks prior to the program start date.

A 75% refund will be granted if request is made less than three (3) weeks prior to the program start date but more than one (1) week before the program start date.

A 50% refund will be granted if request is made less than one (1) week prior to the program start date but before the program start date.

No refunds will be granted if the program has already started, except in the case of significant extenuating circumstances (such as a documented medical condition).

All registrations are subject to the above general Refund Policy, with the following important exception:

In Adult classes, if a cancellation/request for refund is received less than three (3) weeks before the start of a course and would result in the cancellation of that course due to low numbers, no refund will be granted if the remaining course participants are unable to reschedule.  If a new schedule can be worked out for the remaining participants, a refund will be granted based on the policy above.
