Seamanship
Welcome to the 'TECHNICAL TIPS - SEAMANSHIP' section of the SOA Website.
We aim to build this section into a library of tips and information covering all aspects of communication, navigation and seamanship so that anyone venturing to sea does so safely and in accordance with the latest maritime legislation.
To start it off, here are some ideas for man overboard (MOB) procedure and how to come alongside safely, plus information on what GMDSS is all about and why Poole has such peculiar tides.
Any contributions to help build up our knowledge base will be gratefully received and should be sent to kthatcher@talktalk.net.
