Lowtide
South Sound Sailing Society LifeSling Clinic June 5
The LifeSling, combined with the
Quickstop method of stopping the boat, is recognized as the best way for a shorthanded crew to get an overboard person not only back to the boat, but also safely onto the deck. Unfortunately, the LifeSling is not self-explanatory and simply reading the instructions on the bag will not give you the skills and confidence to use it properly. This year’s clinic will be at 0900.
We will begin with about two hours of classroom instruction. You will then get to put your new skills to work with dockside drills. Each boat has its own unique challenges on how to set up and use the hoisting tackle so it is especially helpful to learn how to use the LifeSling on your own boat or one you crew on. Please bring a life jacket, lunch and
basic sailing skills. Space is limited so advance registration is requested. Call Dee or Andy Saller at (360) 491-0175.
