Training Scenario #6:
Shore Exercise
Tasks:
This is a complex and the most difficult exercise. The Coxswain will choose a relatively calm and shallow location. If possible, have a victim on shore. The Mapleguard is to proceed to the location, anchor, inflate dingy, send members ashore, render first aid (type is Coxswain’s choice), and recover victim.
In-depth discussion at the dock on dingy inflation and shore extraction will be useful.
Conditions:
Day, calm weather
Special Requirements:
- If possible have a spare crew member as a victim ashore
Resources:
- Mapleguard, dingy
Sign-off Items:
Crew Resource Management, Vessel Safety, Boat Handling (Confined), Crew Communication, First Aid, Communication (VHF), Boarding/Pacing, Rescue/Recovery, Seamanship (Knots), Anchoring, Shore Extraction
