About the event
Line Handling:
Learn and practice techniques for handling lines, including docklines, running rigging, and gantlines. It's absolutely essential for this material to be muscle-memory when we're underway.
Emergency Response:
Learn the basic potential emergencies that can occur at sea (Fire, Man Overboard, Abandon Ship), and gain a foundational knowledge of the proper procedures to address them.
If you can’t make this particular session, we’re working on offering some additional upcoming options, either virtual, or during the week leading up to the sail. Use this form to communicate if this information is relevant to you.
