Experience & preparation

Offshore sailing demands sound judgement, practical competence, and the ability to operate effectively as part of a team beyond the safety of the harbour.

Before joining any offshore passage or yacht racing campaign, crew are expected to have a solid foundation of seamanship and experience appropriate to the environment and conditions.

As a minimum standard, all crew should be competent to RYA Day Skipper level prior to going offshore.

For extended passages and offshore racing, completion of an approved Offshore Safety and Sea Survival course is strongly recommended to ensure you are prepared for the risks and realities of ocean sailing.
