RYA Sea Survival Sea Survival is all about what to do when the worst happens, and what not to do. Much of what you will learn is counter-intuitive, doing the right thing will not neccesarily come naturally.
In the 1979 Fastnet Race a force 11 storm created difficult conditions, a wind shift then created cross seas. Fifteen people died, seven of them during the abandonment phase. Of the 24 yachts abandoned, only five sank.
Our RYA Sea Survival course is taken by the Chief Instructor of the Royal Navy's Sea Survival Training Centre. A career professional who is responsible for the Sea Survival training of all personnel joining a ship or squadron.
