Online Supplement to International Hands-On
For NBR participants and return crew, and attendees of our courses, we have obtained a discounted rate for the online Safety at Sea course. This seminar, combined with the International Hands-On course taken within a year, will lead to a World Sailing certificate.
The course covers all ten subjects required by US Sailing, presented by Chuck Hawley and a cast of knowledgeable experts. Each section is accompanied by a quiz.
| IMPORTANT: This course by itself does NOT count toward the Bermuda Race requirement of 30% of the crew having Safety at Sea training. This online course only counts toward that requirement when it supplements a one-day Safety at Sea hands-on course. |
