SEA
SURVIVAL
The 1998 Sydney To Hobart Yacht Race Coronial Inquest
demonstrated that even experienced yachtsmen stand a greater
chance of survival when they have training in personal
survival techniques. Designed for both racing and cruising
sailors who venture offshore in both power and sail driven
vessels.

MARINE
FIRST AID
What we learn in basic first aid courses is just sufficient
to stabilise a patient until the ambulance arrives usually
within eleven minutes for capital cities. At sea the minimum
response time for a Medivac is three hours (usually longer).
Sailors need to know more!!

its picture. Get the most out of your set, improve your
