Introduction

SESCA operates 2 Safety Boats to provide cover principally at the weekends but also on some weekdays.

Each Safety Boat is fully equipped with apparatus for the role in accordance with the standards required by the RYA.

These short videos have been prepared by Matt Hughes, SESCA's Chief Instructor for Powerboats, to help crews preparing to use the 2 types of Safety Boat:

• Preparing the equipment for use on the Safety Boats

• Setting up the Valiant 'RIB' Safety Boat (SESCA 2)

• Setting up the Rigiflex New Matic 360 'Jaffa' Safety Boat (SESCA 1)

The standard crew for a Safety Boat are volunteer Club Members who are a qualified Safety Boat Driver accompanied by a Safety Boat Crew.

The following presentation and videos provide a summary of the training that our crews receive before they undertake their roles.
