How Do You Prepare for Sailing Oceans?

6/15/2019

It starts with a seaworthy boat AND knowledge

So how do you know you are ready to leave land behind and cope in the ocean with just your boat your beloved and your skills?

It's really quite simple, training and experience.
 Experience
It takes time, you need to get out on the water in different conditions on a seaworthy vessel, with someone who knows what they are doing.

​Training
Don't be fooled in to learning everything as you go. Preparation is key. If you are prepared your body remembers what to do and over-rides your brain. It muffles that Voice of Doom that gnaws at your nerves. So instead of succumbing to fear you can take action!

Lisa Blair presents a one day masterclass drawing on the unique offshore skills that she developed while she sailed solo around Antarctica and around Australia. Lisa will be sharing her firsthand account of her demasting, building a jury rig, and transferring fuel from a container ship as well as storm survival techniques such as use of drogues and heaving too.

"My heart jack-knifed in my chest as the boat bucked beneath me. I was alone in the frigid Southern Ocean and my boat had just shattered as the mast came crashing down. I was facing the horrible realisation that I might not live past the next five minutes as another wall of white water slammed into the boat, taking my breath away. Shaking with fear I needed to act. I needed to survive. "
