Sea Survival, First Aid and Offshore Safety Courses

Hamble School of Yachting, the Official Training Partner for World Cruising Club participants, provides high quality training to yachtsmen at all ability levels. Proper training is good preparation for any sailing voyage and it is strongly recommended the skipper and at least one other crewmember undertake formal safety training. The ISAF approved Offshore Safety Course is given as three individual modules, each a one-day course. The syllabus aims to cover: Safety Issues - including crew safety, safety equipment, and safe running of the yacht; Principles for First Aid whilst at sea; Sea Survival techniques - including personal survival techniques, as well as offshore sailing in heavy weather and seas.
