The Sailing Club requires all Club-qualified skippers and first mates to maintain current CPR and First Aid certification from a recognized organization (e.g., American Red Cross, American Heart Association). The board can grant exceptions to this requirement on a case by case basis.

To facilitate maintenance of this certification, The Sailing Club typically sponsors CPR and First Aid training at least every other year (certifications are typically for two years). The course is open to all members, with priority given to skippers and first mates. Skippers and first mates may also obtain certification through other courses and notify the Training Coordinator of their status.
