Yachting is one of the safest leisure sporting activities and 99.9% of yachtsmen will never use their liferaft. However, it is a well proven fact that in the event of an emergency at sea, people who have received training are more likely to survive. This course covers preparation for survival, lifejackets, medical issues and search and rescue techniques.
It includes a practical session actually in the JSASTC marina with a liferaft so you can experience first hand the problems of entering an inflated, un-cooperative liferaft whilst fully kitted out in waterproof clothing and a lifejacket. This course is a must for anyone going to sea.
