Safety Boat Day

On Saturday March 1st, 13 Budworth members took part in a very practical and enjoyable safety boat skills day. Led by Alan Jones, we were guided through best practice on how to prepare for a safety boat duty, man overboard recovery techniques, single and double handed boat recovery as well as how to recover a laser bahia when it’s mast is well and truly stuck in the mud. A very enjoyable day and all those attending will be eager to put their new skills to good use during the season. Many thanks to Alan and Chris who donned their dry-suits to make the scenarios as realistic as possible.
