Today I attended a day long “in the water training” seminar in preparation for the upcoming transatlantic race. Taught by Dan O’Connor of Life Raft and Survival. I highly recommend this course to anyone planning any sort of long distance sailing. The crew of “Phaedo” a Gunboat 66, which will also participate in the race were my fellow students. Their questions only improved the quality of the course.
This was very similar to the in the water course I attended before the Fastnet Race given in England.
