What you need to know

Sailing Logic - ISAF Offshore Safety Course


This 2-day course provides training for skippers and crews intending to sail away from protected inshore coastal waters, and who may encounter rough weather and problems at sea.

Day one incorporates the RYA Sea Survival syllabus including a practical pool based session, with a liferaft. This course will give you the confidence and knowledge to sail offshore safely and with minimal risks to crew and yacht and is highly recommended to all sailors (racing or cruising) venturing away from inshore waters.

Day two is classroom based and covers heavy weather sailing techniques, including rigging storm sails and use of sea anchors as well as weather forecasting, fire fighting, MOB rescue and recovery, search patterns, effective communications and a live flare demo (subject to coastguard approval). 
 

ISAF and Racing Requirements:

The certificate awarded confirms crew eligibility under section 6.01 of the ISAF Special Regulations for category 0, 1 and 2 offshore races (such as the Fastnet, Caribbean 600 or Round Ireland Race) which requires a % of the crew to have taken personal survival training.

The full ISAF Offshore Regulations can be viewed on the ISAF Website.

Format: 

Both days start promptly at 9am in our classroom at Port Hamble Marina, with the pool session run in a nearby pool. Sunday includes a practical session on a boat rigging storm sails, and a live flare demo (subject to coastguard permission). Both days finish about 4.45pm.

If you already hold an RYA Sea Survival Certificate (or approved equivalent) issued within the last 5 years, this will exempt you from Day 1 of the course and you can gain the ISAF Offshore Certificate by just attending on Sunday. However, the ISAF certificate will expire once the RYA Sea Survival Certificate is 5 years old. Please contact us on 023 8033 0999 to arrange this.


What is included:

Instructor, class room and pool based session, loan of wet-weather gear and life-jackets, light refreshments, RYA Sea Survival Handbook, ISAF Offshore Safety Course Certificate and RYA/MCA Small Craft Basic Sea Survival Certificate (valid for 5 years).
