Originally required for ocean racers by maritime regulations, the World Sailing (formerly ISAF) training is increasingly sought after by recreational sailors who wish to validate theoretical and practical skills in the areas of survival at sea, medical care for the injured, and safety in recreational navigation in general.
This training is therefore a real asset for any sailor concerned with anticipating the risks inherent to regular sailing practice.
