RYA Sea Survival

City Sailing will give you the edge in the event of an emergency at sea, people who have received our training are more likely to survive. The purpose of this course is to give a person who goes to sea in small commercial motor/sailing vessels the basic knowledge and practical experience of personal survival principles and techniques. You will learn about preparation for survival, lifejackets, search & rescue. You will also join a practical session in a swimming pool with a life raft. This course is a must for everyone who sails.
