RYA safety boat presentation
Suggested methods for dealing with small craft in a sheltered environment
Guiding principles
- Count heads!
- Ask if help is required, and if so, what.
- Recover and return students to shore if the situation is becoming serious.
- Leave the craft ‘tagged’ to let other crews know it has been dealt with.
- Don’t become another casualty yourself .
Guiding principles
- If students are in the water near to your boat, turn the engine off.
- Even if they are not, consider turning the engine off.
- Involve the casualties in their rescue.
- Holding or raising the tip of the mast may be all that is required if sailors are tired.
- Whilst dealing with a rescue, the rest of the fleet may be without cover. Remain alert for them.
Kites
- Check to see if the sailor is OK, and if not apply the first principles.
- Sailor will be dressed for immersion so…..
It may have a valve, so just taking the stopper out may not be sufficient.
