Safety at sea online class © American Sailing Association
The most important part of your sailing education is knowing what to do when things go wrong to protect yourself, your crew, and your vessel.
This 2-session course is designed to not only teach some possible actions when events go wrong at sea, but also to encourage critical thinking skills and creative solutions to possible unexpected, catastrophic events.
One bad situation can result in a domino effect of trouble that increases exponentially. Our goal is to expose sailors to potential problems and possible solutions, encourage them to think safely and creatively, and come out more experienced and safer.
