Safety & Sea Survival REFRESHER (Session 1 of 2)
November 25, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$220
Our Safety at Sea and Survival Course is our icon training initiative. Although it had its beginnings catering to yacht racing, in more recent times we’ve seen a considerable shift to cruising sailors. The course teaches pre voyage planning, heavy weather sailing techniques and what to do when things go wrong. It gives you experience in life rafts and abandonment should the situation become even more serious. It is taught by Jeff Cordell who is one of Australia’s most experienced tutors, backed up by industry professionals who have been developing the course materials since this course began in 1999.
Course Overview
The Safety & Sea Survival (SSS) course involves classroom presentations & learning activities, and practical exercises in the use of liferafts, inflatable lifejackets & distress flares.
The refresher course is facilitated by Safety & Sea Survival Instructors at approved Training Centres. The maximum teaching ratio for this course is 20 students to 1 SSS Instructor (in the classroom) with a reduced ratio of 10:1 for pool sessions. Practical exercises are usually conducted in heated public swimming pools, but may be conducted in clean and enclosed salt-water pools and Marinas providing the water is clean, the temperature is at least 15oC, and all associated risks have been managed.
Course Prerequisites
Must have attended a Safety & Sea Survival Course previously.
Who should do this course?
The refresher, or update, course is designed for active offshore racing sailors and anyone who does not sail regularly should seriously consider attending a full 2 day Safety & Sea Survival course. An update course also provides a valuable refresher to cruising sailors.
Course Outcome
You will gain a Safety and Sea Survival Qualification Certificate as required for Category 1 and Category 2 races. This certificate is valid for 5 years from the date of the course. Cost $220
