Volvo Ocean Race 2008-9 Sea Survival Course From Ocean Safety
To ensure that all the competitors are properly prepared for the Volvo Ocean Race, Ocean Safety has undertaken to repeat the extremely successful, specific to Volvo, compulsory sea survival course for all crews.
This year, there will be changes providing considerably more extreme simulated conditions.
Jim Allen at Volvo Ocean Race Headquarters said, “We take the safety of the boats and crews extremely seriously at Volvo and it is compulsory that every competitor in the race takes part in the Ocean Safety Sea Survival Course. The teams will undergo a two day intensive course.”
Charlie Mill at Ocean Safety said, “We are always delighted to work with such experienced sailors. We can teach them how to use the equipment we supply and in return we gain from the feedback we receive from the teams. We have worked on the course detail to ensure that the simulations come as close as possible to the conditions that they are likely to experience. They could be in for a few surprises!”
