Ken Gillstrom takes the “Emergencies on Board” seminar on to your boat for what will prove to be a very educational and fun weekend covering practical exercises how you would handle various emergency situations on your boat. We cover both equipment effectiveness and procedures.
One of the best ways to be prepared for emergency situations is to rehearse procedures and use equipment. This will make your responses more habitual and help the brain optimize for a set of coordinated activities. Exercises will include
Flood control
Fire fighting
Vessel evacuation
Crew overboard – prevention
Electronic navigation systems failure in fog
