This weekend we host another Coxswain Leadership course. Thank you to these men who took leave from work and are giving up time with their families. From left to right: Davide del Fante (Table Bay), Stephen van den Berg (Port Elizabeth), Louis Roux (Melkbos), Ivan Bauser (Gordons Bay) and Eric Gildenhuys (Port Elizabeth).
The coxswains on course have just completed their practical capsize training at the Survival Centre in Granger Bay.

Forward launching at Melkbosstrand
Part of the experience is to have our coxswains work on unfamiliar boats, with unfamiliar crew in unfamiliar locations. It's not for the feinthearted.
