Event: CLSA Winter Classroom Series
Capsize Recovery and Safety Boat Rescue

Cost: Free 

Capsize Recovery and Safety Boat Rescue.  Attend this 60-minute zoom workshop and learn how to safely recover from a capsize.  We’ll review video footage of capsize recoveries and discuss the recovery techniques used for both single-hand and multi-person dinghies.  We’ll also explain rescue considerations and best practices for safety boat operators when assisting with the rescue of a capsized boat.   

Textbook:  We will make reference to Learn Sailing Right Beginner and Learn Sailing Right Intermediate.  Please bring them if you've purchased them for past classes, but these are not required.  You can purchase these textbooks directly through US Sailing.  

Video: Jump to the 31:15 of Learn to Sail in 60 Minutes and watch the capsize recovery process.  Just for fun, you can also view a real-life capsize captured by CLSA member Angie Hunt.
