RYA Safety Boat

The aim of this course is to introduce the techniques used in power boats escorting fleets of dinghies, windsurfers and canoes so as to provide safety and rescue cover. The course is intensely practical, using the club\'s power boats, and using dinghies and other craft to show how to handle them when they are semi-submerged and heavy. Rope work applicable to escorting and rescuing boats is also taught and assessed.

The Safety Boat course is scheduled at a time convenient to our INstructors and candidates. We will also help fund candidate\'s fees at other sailing clubs and organisations when it meets the needs of the Sailing Club.
