This course provides training for skippers and crews who may encounter rough weather and problems at sea. It consists of two parts: one day of sea survival training and one day of training in seamanship, heavy weather techniques and emergencies. Commercially endorsed Yachtmasters need not take this course and may apply direct to the RYA for issue of an ISAF certificate. The certificate awarded confirms crew eligibility under section 6.01 of the ISAF Special Regulations for category 0, 1 and some category 2 offshore races. These require a percentage of the crew to have taken personal survival training. Full details of the Special Regulations can be found on the MCA website. |
