Event Details
A fun yet informative one-day course for anyone going to sea, providing an understanding of how to use the safety equipment on board your boat.
A genuine lifesaver
Cruising is one of the safest leisure sporting activities, and 99.9% of those afloat will never need to use their liferaft. However, if you are part of the unlucky 0.1%, this course is exactly what is required to understand how to really understand your safety equipment on board.
An important part of the course is a practical session in an indoor swimming pool. Experience first-hand the problems of entering an uncooperative liferaft and assisting fellow boaters while fully kitted out in wet weather gear and a lifejacket.
This fun yet informative course is carried out across 1 day over at Andark Training Centre in Swanwick.
Course Duration | 1 day, 9am – 5.30pm |
Course Cost | £130 per person |
What’s covered:
Liferafts and the equipment they contain
Survival techniques
The design of lifejackets
Medical aspects of sea survival
Search and rescue techniques
If you have your own lifejacket then this might be a good time to test it. Re-arming kits can be purchased in the Andark shop.
The course is classroom and pool based requiring a degree of physical ability, please contact us with any questions.
What to wear:
- You will need old clothing like a tracksuit etc (not jeans) to wear in the water, and a towel. You may bring your own waterproofs and footwear, but these must be clean.
- Change of clothes for afterwards.
The RYA Basic Sea Survival Course Completion certificate is awarded on satisfactory completion of the course.
After drying off, we will be heading across to The Old Ship opposite the training center to regale our accomplishments over a few drinks, we hope you will join us.
