A legally compliant boat and an offshore-ready boat are often two very different things.
In this episode of Boating Insights, we discuss the findings from our latest review of offshore standards used by Maritime New Zealand (MNZ), Australian Sailing Category 1, the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC), and ARC / World ARC.
While many skippers focus on equipment such as EPIRBs, liferafts, flares and VHF radios, one of the strongest themes that emerged from the review was the importance of training, crew competency, recovery capability and communications redundancy.
In this episode, we discuss:
• The difference between legal compliance and offshore readiness
• Why training and competency featured so strongly across the standards reviewed
• Crew overboard recovery systems and procedures
• Communications redundancy for offshore boating
• Common themes across offshore cruising and racing standards
• Where skippers should focus their time and effort when preparing for offshore passages
