With a pent-up demand for Safety-at-Sea certification for 2022 offshore events, our friends at the Storm Trysail Club are holding a Hands-On Safety-at-Sea Seminar at the New York State Maritime College in the Bronx, NY on October 11, 2021 – Columbus Day.
Building on the success of past seminars, this event will follow an interactive curriculum where attendees learn in the water survival, board life rafts, fire distress flares, put out fires, learn damage control, set storm sails, and rescue a man overboard.
By attending the seminar and viewing the Storm Trysail’s Video Library, sailors will earn a US Sailing Offshore Safety-at-Sea Certificate. Attendees can opt to earn an International Offshore Safety-at-Sea Certificate by also viewing US Sailing’s Online Offshore Safety-at-Sea course. This is in addition to the STF videos you will also watch
Course Curriculum:
• On the water session with man overboard recovery, setting storm sails & emergency steering
• Pool session with PFD, life raft use and combating hypothermia
• Firefighting instruction, use of flares and pyrotechnics
• Emergency communications and Search & Rescue
• Damage control and much more
Registration will open in mid-July. To be notified when it opens, sign up at stormtrysail.org/save-the-date-hands-on-safety-at-sea-seminar-oct-11-at-suny-maritime ■
