Saturday RYA First Aid course

In a medical emergency a little first aid knowledge and immediate action can save lives, especially in remote locations. This one-day course is designed to provide a working knowledge of first aid for people using small craft and to support skippers. It fulfils the requirements for professional skippers of small craft working within 60 miles of safe haven. The course is MCA and HSE approved, and satisfies the requirements of some categories of commercial work afloat.

Sunday RYA Sea Survival course

Yachting is one of the safest leisure sporting activities and 99.9% of yachtsmen will never use their liferaft. However, it is a well proven fact that in the event of an emergency at sea, people who have received training are more likely to survive. This course covers preparation for survival, lifejackets, medical issues and search and rescue techniques. It includes a practical session in a swimming pool with a liferaft so you can experience first hand the problems of entering an inflated, uncooperative liferaft whilst fully kitted out in waterproof clothing and a lifejacket. This course is a must for anyone going to sea. The two courses are open to all people and no prior knowledge or experince is required. Those that wish to participate in the IBM Fastnet boat shall be required to undertake both of these courses.
