Sail BYC Safety & Sea Survival Course – 3 sessions 14,16,18 June

June 18, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

$380.00

Our Safety at Sea and Survival Course is our iconic 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.

Cost $380


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.  Of 16 hrs duration the course is usually delivered over 2 full-days and is facilitated by Safety & Sea Survival Instructors at approved Training Centres.
