US Sailing Issues Online Safety Training Course

By | | Comments 0 Comment

 

US Sailing has made some changes regarding safety training for sailors. These new policy changes have been issued this year and would be effective from 1st January 2021. The policy changes have been confirmed by an offshore and a sub-committee of US Sailing.


The salient points include a course about offshore safety. A certificate on offshore safety is being launched that can be earned by completing certain units of the online course. It is termed the Safety at Sea course whose 1 to 15 units can help one to earn this certificate. One could also attend a one day course about Offshore Safety at Sea and complete the online international safety standards for units 11 to 15. One could complete 11 to 15 units in 2020 and complete the higher units 10 to 1 in the year 2021. As one completes the online course proof of completion would be generated. It would then upload on the US Sailing list of online lookup under the international chapter of Safety at Sea.

There were eight additional entries in the late hour which included seven that were conditional; the entries need to be approved by Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron as well as by Emirates Team New Zealand. They needed to agree to modify the protocol in order to accept the challenges of these entries.

The conditions are yet to be announced to the public. However it can be assumed, as per comments heard from Emirates team’s CEO Grant Dalton that they involve the challengers trying to get the World Series event to take part in their home waters before AC36. There would be substantial changes in protocol but the actions would not be made public yet.

The 2019 Festival of Sails notice of race went live recently. No sooner did the race notice go live, the Royal Geelong Yacht Club got its first entry. It was none other than the Voodoo, which is a Hugh Ellis’ Reichel/Pugh 63. The race is to be held from 26 to 28 in January, 2019. Voodoo took part in the last Geelong regatta way back in 2009. It will now be featured in a Geelong yacht club event after a gap of 10 years. The boat now sails for Victoria’s Ocean Racing Club.

Ellis is very happy with the reentry of Voodoo in the Geelong event. He feels that it would be a great thing if Voodoo enters the race in January on the back of a win at the Rolex Sydney Hobart race. The boat has also made a comeback in the Southeast Queensland’s Yacht Race.
