This includes the use of safety equipment such as lifejackets, kill cords, fire extinguishers and flares. You will practice slow speed handling, such as coming alongside, picking up mooring buoys and Man Over Board. You will also be introduced to chart work and passage planning, and get to plan and execute a passage to a nearby harbour.
