About

Our Man Over Board Masterclass is a popular 90-minute intensive seminar where you will experience recovering 'BOB', our 100kg artificial human.

As part of the class we will bring you up to date with the latest advances in technology from modern life jackets and harness lines, to lights, beacons and recovery aids.

Presented by

Neil Driscoll & the ABB Team

FOUNDER & LEAD TRAINER

Key safety principles that are often overlooked...

PREPARATION

Unfortunately, many boat owners waste a lot of time and money by overlooking the key principles we focus on. No matter how long or short a time you have been boating, these are crucial elements that will make your boat safer and therefore also your boating more enjoyable.

PREVENTION

Smart skippers and boat owners take the time to plan a safety brief that really hits home the vital information to their crew in a clear format without horror stories. We will show you how to do this.

IMPLEMENTATION

Finding good crew can be very challenging in a busy city. It is important that as boat owners you can stand out to attract the right people onto your boat and as crew that you attract the right boats. Implementing a simple and effective safety plan will really help with this.

PRACTICE

If you spend enough time at sea accidents will happen. It is time to take action and work out a plan that will work on your boat with your crew so that you will all perform in an emergency.

"I found the course to be extremely thorough and professionally presented, particularly the on- water and pool sessions where we were required to replicate retrieval drills with a life size and weighted 'dummy'. I experienced the reality and the complexities of dealing with life safety and life saving situations first hand, which was invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend Above and Beyond Boating to anyone considering venturing offshore."

- Stephen Ellis
"The Man Overboard workshop was an eye opener: it's very helpful to put theories into practise, to figure out exactly what can go wrong, and learn how to prevent tragic accidents..Neil did a great job differentiating the content so that everyone was able to apply it to their own agendas: cruising, offshore racing, experts, skippers, crew and novices."

- Katherine Francis
"They are not only great teachers who are passionate about their subject, but have clearly thought about what works, what doesn't and how to do things better and safer. Really helps you think about how to organise and manage your own boat and crew."

- David Hirsch
"You don't know what you don't know! The 90 minute Man Overboard course highlighted a number of safety aspects and the practical, hands on approach let us all appreciate how challenging real situation would be."

- Karyn Godijnich
"Neil knows his stuff and makes the learning interesting, hands on and appropriate to individual needs. I feel much more confident on the water and I am glad that most of the crew I sail with have also done this course and we have a better understanding of keeping ourselves and each other safe on the water. Keep up the great work, Neil!"
