[J24 ListSrv] Crew overboard training

[Scott Brigham]

Why don't we consider hosting a safety at sea course at the YC that will qualify crew for the mandatory "at least 3" rule of many offshore races.  For the Mac and for other races a minimum number of crew must have completed the US Sailing Safety at Sea Seminar within the past three years.  I'm due as it was 4 years ago, and we've just purchased a Mumm 36 for offshore racing on the Great Lakes and AIS sailing.

Just a thought.

Agree agree.  Maybe we could work Beth's idea into one of the new crew races.  Mandatory bucket/fender recovery before the start?

Would also like to get AIS sailors involved.  David Crum has offered the use of his expired life raft for training.  I've never practiced climbing aboard on (step up).  Might be harder than you imagine but That would work better in warmer weather.

Ernie,

In previous years, we held the crew overboard clinic immediately after a Big Island race. We have previously discussed (but never implemented) awarding participation points for practicing overboard recovery drills.

I would support a clinic as well as promoting practice drills.

Regards,

In our 2017 effort to improve safety we should consider a seminar on crew overboard training. Getting back to a person in the water is no mean feat. There are techniques and they should be practiced. I propose that we hold a crew overboard seminar early in the year, probably in May. We did this more than 10 years ago. It should be an on-going program.
