Modern Sailing Safety- this channel is dedicated to providing sailors with tips from off shore sailing professionals. Racers from Volvo Ocean and Ocean Race, Vendee, TranSat, TransPac, Chi Mac, Clipper, Sydney Hobart, Fastnet and more. If you cruise, race or day sail there will be safety tips for all. We remove opinions from Safety and point sailors to best practices, certifications and international standards. Today, the combination of boat speed and diminished maneuverability, has created a gap between traditional Man Overboard methods and modern performance sailing. In some situations, stopping a boat to rescue a person may be impossible. Because of this, the time has come to train and certify another specialty of sailors. It is the Sailing Rescue Swimmer, ONLY in this program can sailors learn from the best off shore sailors in the world. This certification program provides procedures, and equipment needed. www.ministryofsailing.com
