Learn skills that are essential should an emergency situation arise offshore. (There are some exemptions for people already holding certain marine qualifications & certificates). The Safety and Sea Survival Course was developed following the tragedies of the 1998 Sydney to Hobart Race.

This course covers the important issues that can arise when offshore sailing. From July 1st 2002, it is an YA requirement that 50% of the crew of a yacht competing in offshore Cat. 1 & 2 racing should hold this certificate.

We not only teach racing crew but also blue water cruisers and sailors with an overall interest in the sport. The course covers the following areas listed below and is completed with practical wet drills and setting off distress flares.
