The Coastal Personal Survival Course is a 1 day course for experienced sailors who are participating in World Sailing Offshore Special Regulations (OSR) Category 3-4 and/or US SER Coastal Category passages or events such as the Southern Straits Race, Patos Island Race, and Swiftsure Race.  The course includes both classroom and practical sessions and is Sail Canada approved. 

Coastal Personal Survival Course topics include a review of required/recommended safety equipment, preparing heavy weather sails, obtaining and interpreting local weather forecasts, hypothermia and cold water immersion, crew overboard, emergency signals and communications.
