 Now
available: The TPS Overboard DVD
Research has shown that
getting a boat alongside a person who has fallen overboard, is not
difficult.
Getting the victim back on board, is!
This DVD was first issued as a VHS video by the Toronto Power and
Sail Squadron as a 40th Anniversary project. 20 years later, the
squadron is pleased to reissue it in DVD format.
The methods
proposed in this DVD are as valid to day as they were when the project
was first attempted: the “QUICK-STOP” method still remains the most
effective way of bringing a sailboat alongside a person in the water
in the quickest and safest manner.
Running time: 12 minutes 30
seconds. Ideal for safety seminar use.
How to order: Mail your
cheque in the amount of $20, payable to Toronto Power & Sail Squadron,
to:
Commander, TPS
253 Cranbrooke Avenue, Toronto, ON M5M
1M8
We will send the DVD by first class mail. There are no
other charges. Sorry, no credit cards |
Squadron pennant
Now available at $10 each - a special reduction for members only.
