Both boats are equipped with the latest navigation and communication equipment, including GPS chartplotters, VHF radios, and emergency beacons.
Updated First Aid Facilities
Our first aid facilities have been completely renovated and restocked with modern medical equipment:
- Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Oxygen therapy equipment
- Spinal immobilization boards
- Comprehensive trauma and wound care supplies
Training and Certification
All rescue boat operators and safety officers have completed updated training courses, including:
- RYA Powerboat Level 2 certification

- VHF Radio Operator licenses
"Safety is our top priority at SCYC," said Commodore Helen Davies. "These investments ensure we can provide the best possible safety cover for all our sailing activities."
Safety Procedures
We remind all members to familiarize themselves with our updated safety procedures, available in the clubhouse and on our website. Regular safety briefings will be held throughout the sailing season.
