RYA Safety Boat Handbook+DVD. Руководство по безопасности лодки

Издание на английском языке.
RYA courses teach self reliance. Sailors and powerboaters should take to the. water with the intention of returning without assistance. However for sailing schools, beginners, children, and during races it is important that there is safety cover provided by a powerboat.
It is equally important that the helmsmen of these safety boats are knowledgeable and trained. At an RYA recognised centre or affiliated club competitors or trainees can expect a competent safety boat coxswain who will have positioned the safety boat in the right place, know the priority of rescuing people before boats, and know how to cope even if the rescued crew are unable to assist. Steering a powerboat is a simple skill but manoeuvring a safety boat around a capsized dinghy with sailors in the water and ropes just under the surface requires considerable skill. As new types of boats and equipment are introduced, techniques of rescue have to change. The RYA, keen to encourage the new generation of dinghies, leads the world in providing advice to safety boat crews and has researched the difficulties caused when these craft invert following a capsize. Advice to safety boats is included in these pages and has been drawn on by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) and the RNLI.
This book is a compilation of many years experience as well as recent research. Its authors Grahame Forshaw, Laurence West and David Ritchie each have a lifetime's experience as safety boat coxswains and instructors. They bring pragmatism and good sense to the subject and provide an invaluable reference to sailing schools, clubs and any other organisation providing safety cover to small craft.
