Included in the four day program are classroom sessions covering pre-launch checks, mustering and crowd control, abandonment protocols, actions after abandonment and signaling/rescue communications. Practical exercises include survival craft loading, launching and release mechanisms, basic boat handling, compass work, heaving to and sea anchors, search patterns, person in water recovery, and pacing and passenger transfer to FRC.
