Safety & Survival

A range of short courses to support those who go to sea in small craft. These are a mixture of clasroom based courses and online training.

 

RYA Sea Survival   1 day (classroom, inc. pool and flare session)

World Sailing Offshore Personal Survival 2 days (classroom, inc. pool and flare session)

A more involved 2-days that goes beyond the RYA Sea Survival and is mandatory for offshore race crews competing in yachts races such as the Fastnet Race, Round Britain & Ireland Race, the Lonely Rock Race the Round Ireland Race, the ARC Trans Atlantic Race, the Sydney Hobart Race and so on.

 

World Sailing Offshore Personal Survival Refresher 1 day (classroom, inc. pool session)
