ISAF Offshore Safety - training for recreational and racing skippers and crews who encounter rough weather and problems at sea.

COURSE BACKGROUND

This brilliant 1 or 2 day course was developed following the report into the 1998 Sydney Hobart Race, where tragically 6 lives were lost. The aim is to provide the essential practical skills and theoretical knowledge to react effectively when facing rough weather, emergency problems and abandonment at sea. In addition to yacht skippers and crews who have to meet the requirements of the ISAF Special Regulations G, the course is excellent for all seafarers.

The Offshore Special Regulations strongly recommend that all crew members should undertake personal survival training (OSR 6.01) at least once every 5 years (MoMu 1,2). To meet the current regulations at least 30% but no fewer than two members of a crew including the skipper shall have undertaken training within 5 years before the start of the race in both.

(MoMu 0) every member of the crew including the skipper shall have taken the training as in OSR 6.01 at least once every 5 years.

For the FASTNET RACE At least 30% of the crew including the Person in Charge must have completed training to Section 6 of the ISAF Offshore Special Regulations. Appendix G to the regulations provides a model training course. In the Two-Handed class both crewmembers must have received training.

In addition at least one member of the crew shall hold a current Senior First Aid Certificate or equivalent (in accordance with OSR 6.05.2) and should be familiar with the management of medical emergencies that may occur at sea including Hypothermia, and radio communications operations for obtaining medical advice by radio.

The training must have taken place after 1st January 2004.
