Dublin Bay 21 Events Calendar
NYC Cruising group safety seminar
- 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM; Viking marine: essential and developing safety gear
- 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM: Kenny Rumble, INSS and John White give their presentation on a man overboard incident that occurred at night during the round Ireland race. This is a gripping story where the use of modern technology proved crucial
- 12:00 AM to 1:30 PM: joint Coast Guard and RNLI demonstration showcasing the equipment and technology used by the search and rescue organizations. This will be a live rescue simulation with a focus on the capabilities of the Coast Guard drone and interagency cooperation. I anticipate this will be a huge benefit to cruising skippers and sailors as it will inform them of the proper approach to take when issuing a Mayday and how the agencies react and the information they require. (This demonstration will be subject to the potential of a “call out”, for a rescue, as they are always “on call”.)
- 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM: Solace marine demonstration of lifeboat and rescue flare deployment.
- 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM: the RNLI will have officers there who can do a full life jacket check for those who wish to avail of it. So please remember to bring your life jacket with you.
- 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM: skipper and crew briefing and presentation of passage plan to the Isle of Man, for the upcoming National Yacht Club Rally on the 24th of May.
