Course overview

A one-day informative course that all members (and non-members), sailing and non-sailing, are encouraged to attend. It is aimed at anyone who goes afloat, whether on inland waters, rivers, or the sea. The course covers all aspects of first aid, both water and land based. To practice your CPR skills on Annie is an opportunity not to be missed! Whilst it is hoped the skills taught will never be called into practice, if there is one course as a club member you should take, it is this one!
