RYA Safetyboat (2 Days)
This course is all about how to rescue other sailors, windsurfers, kayakers and paddleboarders! If you want to perform Safetyboat Driver as one of your club duties or are an instructor interested in development then this course is for you. Over 2 days we will look at the equipment we carry to enable rescues and a variety of techniques to assist other water users safely. Whilst this course is mostly practical we will also look at the background knowledge of race management to provide an insight into what goes on at larger events behind the scenes. You must be 16 and hold your RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate to take part in this course.
The cost of this course to members is £50. Spinnaker Sailing Club offers safetyboat training to members primarily to grow the skills of our membership to allow them to support our programme of racing and other waterborne activities. If a member commits to performing 3 safetyboat helm duties in the 12 months following their qualification they can attend this course for free. To receive this reduced price please email the Chief Instructor on training@spinnakerclub.co.uk for further details.
