US Sailing Sanctioned Hands-On Only Training Course

Including a Gulf of Mexico Offshore Sailing Workshop

The PYC Satori Safety at Sea training course is a one-day event: a Gulf Offshore workshop and a Hands-on training course. An optional hands-on training course concludes the following day.

Prerequisite must be completed:

Only people who have completed their US Sailing Sanctioned Offshore Safety at Sea course (online or in person) within 365 days prior to the date of our course, can attend a hands-on training to upgrade their certificate to an International Offshore Safety at Sea. If they are outside of the range, they will have to retake the course either online or in person.

Enrollment includes a code to take the online course for attendees who have not completed the on-line course or completed a US Sailing sanctioned Offshore Safety at Sea course. US Sailing will provide the codes to PYC who will in turn distribute the code to their attendees.

This online course is equivalent to the in-person US Sailing Sanctioned Offshore Safety at Sea course. You will receive a US Sailing Offshore Safety at Sea Certificate at the completion of your online course.

Certificates available:

Attendees will receive an upgraded Certificate from Offshore to US Sailing International Offshore (World Sailing compliant) Certificate if the attendee has documented proof of having attended a US Sailing Sanctioned Offshore Safety at Sea course or taken the US Sailing Online Offshore Safety at Sea course within the last 365 days.

Online Course - completed prior to Pensacola's Hands-On Training, registration code provided with enrollment in option #1
