One of the most important lessons in sailing safety is simple: practice matters.

What Is Practice On Your Own Boat (POYOB)?

Prepared by the Cruising Club of America's Safety and Seamanship Committee, POYOB is a structured, step-by-step exercise program designed to build real, boat-specific "muscle memory”. *

Every Boat. Every Crew. Build Your Safety Culture.

Every boat is different. Every crew operates differently. By practicing aboard your own vessel, you gain a deeper understanding of how your boat behaves during a recovery maneuver and what techniques work best for your team.  Whether a seasoned offshore fully crewed race team, skilled double handed team or experienced or new cruising couple, practice is the critical and POYOB can be the key.
