Safety and Sea Survival  Course

We have organised a Safety and Sea Survival Course to be conducted at the CCYC on the May Day Weekend (Sat 4-Sun 5^th May)

The Instructor (Annnette Hesselmans) is a very experienced sailor, and has the honour of fifth place (PHS) in the 2018 Melbourne Osaka race.

For those that have done a SSSC course before, there is a refreshed course, which is just one day (cost $495)

For those that haven’t done a course before, you will need the full 2 day course (cost $695)

Most of the classroom activities will be done at the CCYC, the water activities at the Yeppoon Swimming Pool, and the flare activation on the ramp at the club.

Here’s a link to the content of the course on Australian Sailing https://www.sailingresources.org.au/safety-sea-survival/

This course is valuable to ALL sailors, whether cruising or racing, as it means you are prepared when things go pear shaped.

The course includes deploying a 10 Person training life raft, demonstration of EPIRBS, PLB and AIS, MOB recovery systems, a range of PFDs to ‘explore’, tethers and other items to demonstrate safety and emergency situations.

It seems like a lot of money, but that really gets down to what value you (and your family) put on your life?

$695 (or $139/year) isn’t a lot is it means you don’t come home in a body bag.

We are limited to 20 people for the course (refresher and full course), so it will be first in gets the seat.

Registration

Full Course $695 (inclusive of RYA Sea Survival Handbook, flares, all training, Australian Sailing Certificate valid for 5 years).

Refresher Course $495 and is one day only.
