SUDDENLY ALONE<br />
S<br />
uddenly Alone is a course for<br />
cruising sailors, particularly for<br />
shorthanded cruising sailors, and most<br />
acutely for the less experienced member<br />
of a crew. The prospect of being suddenly<br />
alone is a daunting fear.<br />
Suppose, through injury, illness, or crew<br />
overboard, you were to find yourself suddenly<br />
alone. What would you do How<br />
would you handle it<br />
The Suddenly Alone curriculum, created<br />
under the auspices of the Bonnell<br />
Cove Foundation of the Cruising <strong>Club</strong> of<br />
America, is designed to give you the tools<br />
to prepare yourself to be suddenly alone.<br />

After implementing the plans and going<br />
through the exercises taught at the seminar<br />
you will be prepared and “know you can<br />
handle it.”<br />
You’ll learn how to assess the situation, you<br />
will know your response options and priorities,<br />
and you will know how to implement<br />
your response. You will also learn preventive<br />
techniques to reduce the chances that<br />
you will ever be suddenly alone.<br />
The Suddenly Alone seminar is the first<br />
phase in completing the program. Each<br />
participant will leave the Suddenly Alone<br />
seminar with a course workbook which<br />
include a series of exercises necessary to<br />

and confidence to respond properly if Suddenly<br />

The North Sails loft is trying to gauge interest<br />

taught at the North sail loft or at PYC.<br />
