“Prepare for the worst ; hope for the best”
A course requirement for many Offshore racers, a mindset for anyone who goes to sea! A course to help you face up to the “what ifs” of the sport of sailing, wherever you intend to go, and to help you prepare in advance for the unwanted challenges you may be forced to face.
