Storm Trysail Club will host their annual spring US Sailing Sanctioned Hands-On Safety At Sea Training Seminar on May 18, 2024 The seminar will be a one full-day event at SUNY Maritime College. Building on the success of past seminars, this event will follow an interactive curriculum where participants will learn about damage control, fire distress rockets and flares, put out fires, set storm sails, and exercise water survival skills & use of life rafts, perform crew overboard (COB) rescue among other activities. One of three safety at sea certifications can be earned by a combination of participation in the hands-on training seminar and completion of online course material: Should you opt for a certification that includes a US Sailing Safety at Sea online course you will be issued a unique course code and information on how to access the online courses following a completed registration and payment for the SUNY SAS Hands-On Safety at Sea seminar. All participants must review the following STC videos: Please pay special attention to the COB sections of the videos. Additionally, you must study the attached Control Grid.
