Course Overview: 

This course is designed to assist boat owners, especially cruising couples or shorthanded sailors, in practicing Man Overboard techniques on their own boats. Attendees will find that despite having studied the subject and attended Safety at Sea courses, they are not prepared for the actual emergency until they have practiced MOB recovery on their own boats. The course requires your boat, your crew, and commitment of much of a day.
