A
published copy of the curriculum for the Offshore Safety at Sea Seminar,
sponsored by U.S. Sailing, seems to be hard to find, but these are the topics
they outline for the professionally-taught 8-hour course. Good information for anyone to know when
sailing offshore...
TOPICS: Personal safety gear, Person overboard, Emergency
communications, Search and rescue, Heavy weather, Storm sails, Crew health, Hypothermia,
Jury rigging and repair, Fire precautions, Lending assistance, Life rafts, Signals.
The
two-day Offshore Safety at Sea Seminar adds 6 hours of hands-on skills training
in a swimming pool. There was an online
offering of the one-day course, but it is not available at this time.
If
you register for this seminar when it's offered this winter/spring at Strictly
Sail, Chicago Yacht Club, Columbia Yacht Club, Muskegon Yacht Club, or
elsewhere, make sure you select the Offshore seminar, not the Coastal seminar. Here's a list and registration info for all the scheduled 2017 seminars.
