Emergency Preparedness Maritime Webinar and manuals. We also fondly refer to this workshop as “Last Chance”.

Because that is what it is if you find yourselves dealing with one of the emergencies we cover in the manual and workshop.

Important: The webinar takes you everything listed below, but only one emergency scenario. You will then see how it is done and can easily follow the same process – using the detailed manuals with expert insights, information and provoking thoughts – for the other emergencies..

EVERYTHING you need is in the manual – it walks you through and provides all the answers/considerations.

PLUS: you’ll receive access to carefully curated articles, handouts, and templates.

This course is for anyone who wants to feel safe and confident on the water, including catamaran, monohull, and motorboat owners. It’s all about your boat, your systems, and your crew.

The Goal

	The goal of the webinar combined with the manuals is to prompt you to think about the reality of the day-to-day running of your boat, and preventing and preparing for emergencies. It will ask you to think about your initial reactions in emergency situations, and the tasks that will give you the best chance of survival.
	This webinar is packed with fantastic information and is hands-on, by the end of the workshop you will have started your Emergency Preparedness manual and be ready to complete it.
	You will feel prepared and far more relaxed on the water. You will have concise, appropriate, useful notes and information to give to new crew/visitors so they are equipped should the worst happen

 

Although this course is theory-driven, it is interactive. You will be faced with a number of scenarios, and you will write the first tasks that come to mind that you would do.

You will apply that information to short templates, allowing you to expand on your thoughts and create processes in a few easy steps.

At the very least, this will motivate you to think about situations your abilities, and your equipment.

We’ve made it easy for you with templates and handouts, just follow the simple instructions. Quickly and easily, you will soon have a small handbook, clear thoughts, and procedures.
