Harken and Ocean Safety Talk

Safety Talk

Harken and Ocean Safety have joined forces to present a series of seminars to illustrate the ways boat users can enjoy their time on the water in a safer way.

The safer sailing seminar looks at the following points:

·         How low friction sail handling equipment can ensure safe-handling of a vessel

·         How improved modern sail handling systems can improve safety by reducing the need to move out of the cockpit.

·         How the use of simple high quality deck equipment can dramatically simplify the ability to get a person out of the water as quickly as possible

·         The importance of understanding the safety equipment on-board a vessel, how it works and how it can integrate into other aspects of the vessel.

·         The use of lifejackets and other MOB equipment including inflation of life-jackets and a life-raft.

·         This interactive talk highlights the necessity to have a plan for when things go wrong.
