There’s a fair chance that at some time in our sailing careers we will drive or be involved with a power boat and need to be aware of the safety responsibilities that come with that.
Every sailing club across Australia relies on volunteers and the generous contribution of their time. The Humpybong Yacht Club shows how to organise their teams using the revSPORT system.

World Sailing have introduced new rules that require trapeze harnesses to be ‘quick release’ and compliant with ISO 10862 allowing the competitor to detach at any time.
