Previously scheduled for November 1-2, 2008, now postponed until February.

The Short-handed Sailing Association has had to postpone this two day seminar originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday November 1-2, 2008 at the Seaman's Church Institute in Newport, RI.

This will be an intensive hands-on, down and dirty class covering emergencies at sea where the crew on board are the first responders and will be responsible for stabilizing conditions such as:

• Head injuries (like from falling booms)
• Internal trauma (as in being thrown across the cabin in a seaway)
• Fractures
• Hypothermia

Maximum participation is around 30-35 people and attendees will be eligible for American Heart Association Heart Saver certificate. The venue is planned for the Seaman’s Church Institute in down town Newport, a 5 minute walk to the Newport YC. The instructor is Jon Bryant, a Wilderness EMT and expedition guide and leader & sailor.

Cost is $195.00
