COURSE OUTLINE
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.
While there is no absolute “right way” to handle an emergency at sea, as they are dynamic and varied; this seminar will give you some exposure to on-the-spot possible actions and solutions.
This online course also is intended to encourage you, the sailor, to start thinking through “what if” scenarios. There’s a saying about failing to plan is planning to fail. However, if you at least have a bit of a plan and an idea of what is possible on your vessel; your successful containment or diffusion of a difficult solution is more probable.
