"Boating is one of the safest leisure and sporting activities. However, as with anything that pushes us to the edge of our abilities, there’s always a chance of accident or injury. Properly preparation makes us better able to cope and will significantly increase our chances of survival. This ... handbook is the official text for the RYA Basic Sea Survival course and the RYA/ISAF Offshore Safety course. It has been updated with new information and guidance on how to respond to emergencies at sea and is invaluable for anyone who takes a boat offshore."--Back cover
