RYA Sea Survival

Yachting is one of the safest leisure sporting activities and 99.9% of yachtsmen will never use their liferaft. However, it is a well proven fact that in the event of an emergency at sea, people who have received training are more likely to survive. This course covers preparation for survival, lifejackets, medical issues and search and rescue techniques. It includes a practical session in HOTA's swimming pool with a liferaft so you can experience first hand the problems of entering an inflated, uncooperative liferaft whilst fully kitted out in waterproof clothing and a lifejacket.
