It focuses on low speed close quarters handling, man overboard recovery, an introduction to driving at planing speed, and collision regulations. It may be conducted in a variety of boat types, both planing and displacement. The certificate issued will be endorsed to show the type of boat in which the training took place.
Safety Boat: This two-day course provides the skills required when acting as an escort craft, safety boat or coach boat for a fleet of dinghies, windsurfers or canoes, or for racing or training activities. It includes rescue techniques and elements of race management and mark laying. It is strongly recommended that a member of the rescue crew should hold a first aid certificate (or should have experience of first aid). Power Boat 2 certificate is required prior to this course as well as a good understanding of sailing, windsurfing etc.
