“This 4-day course provides the knowledge, understanding and proficiency required to take charge of a survival craft or rescue boat during and after launching as outlined in the STCW Code. Offered through Seattle Maritime Academy.”
This class had some review of BST but with some new info. And lots of rowing. I gots blisters. At first I was very ambivelent about taking a class to deploy a class of boat that doesn’t exist in the tow industry. But the class had some good seamanship points that were subtle and possibly unintended. The working of a gravity davit is fairly useless knowledge as far as I am concerned, but learning a new potentially dangerous operation, then taking each role - including supervisor was a great process to go through.
