Coastal Safety Training and Sea Seminar

"Coastal" SAS (safety at sea) training is required for 30% of crew to participate in OYRA- and SSS-sponsored ocean races (and others) this year. “Offshore” SAS training is required by the Spinnaker Cup and the PacCup.

Safety training requirements for ocean races are increasing, so think about signing up for a class today.
