Coxswain course under way:

The coxswain course is well under way in Cape Town, with sessions involving everything from written tests to helming, survival, knotting and navigation. The highlight of today, for both the experienced and the new Coxswains, was without a doubt protocols for the capsizing of a 5,5 RIB. A pool session at the Survival Centre. Briefing for the capsize drill. Over she goes.
