RYA Safety Boat Course - March 2022

RYA Safety Boat Course

Hi All

What a great couple of days out on the water, and in the training room, learning new skills with the great ESSC Safety Boat Trainers.

This two-day course provides the skills required when acting as an escort craft, safety boat or coach boat for a fleet of dinghies, windsurfers, or canoes, or for racing or training activities. It includes rescue techniques and elements of race management and mark laying.

Many thanks to the organisers and trainers. And of course, the volunteers who deliberately capsized their dinghies so that we could practice rescuing them!

I would highly recommend this course for anyone who has done their PB2 and wishes to learn more skills to support them when volunteering for patrol boat duties.

Training normally takes place outside the sailing season so look out for dates towards the end of the year.
