Trial Safety Boat Training Course at South Cerney Sailing Club

Published 09:23 on 4 Aug 2025

On Sunday, 3rd August, our sailing club hosted a successful trial of a safety boat training course. Aimed at equipping members with essential skills to enhance safety on the water. The four-hour session brought together a group of volunteers eager to improve their rescue techniques and deepen their understanding of club safety procedures.

The training covered key skills required for assisting sailing dinghies and other types of craft regularly used on the lake. Participants had hands-on practice in manoeuvring the safety boat, approaching capsized vessels, and effectively helping sailors in difficulty. All while working within the club's established safety protocols.

This initiative is part of the club's ongoing commitment to upskilling members and ensuring a safe, supportive environment for all water users. Feedback from the session was overwhelmingly positive, and further training opportunities are already being discussed.

By investing in training like this, South Cerney Sailing Club continues to prioritise safety, competence, and community on and off the water.
