Britannia Yacht Club will be the location on March 9-10 for an offshore personal survival seminar by SeaSurvival.ca. This seminar will be of interest to racers, cruisers or anyone contemplating open ocean passages.
Two full days of heavy weather seamanship, ocean safety and best practices for cruisers and offshore racers will include practical sessions in a swimming pool and flare training. The theoretical content is broadly divided between heavy weather seamanship and emergency preparedness, abandoning ship, and survival after abandoning ship. The experiential components include pyrotechnical distress signalling and approximately two hours of wet drills in a pool.
The SeaSurvival Offshore Personal Survival seminar is approved by Sail Canada and World Sailing and it is recognized around the globe as a premier safety at-sea event for cruisers and racers. Participants receive a World Sailing certificate of competence required for offshore racing.
