Seamanship
The founding principles of the Cruising Club
of America set the stage for the pursuit of good seamanship.
Throughout the Club's history and continuing in the present,
CCA members have worked diligently to contribute to the body
of knowledge, tools, equipment and techniques that are vital
to good seamanship and safety at sea. |

CCA members are heavily involved in many aspects of the
development and testing of safety equipment and techniques. Follow this link for Safety at Sea and Suddenly Alone seminars, the Crew Overboard Recovery Symposium, equipment information and other safety news. |

Extensive information about offshore communications, electronics,
emergency procedures and Voice Over IP, and other important
communications information compiled and updated by Walter
Paul. |

Proper preparation can, quite literally, be lifesaving in
the case of a medical emergency at sea. To help yachts prepare
for offshore passages, the CCA's Fleet Surgeon has prepared
a Fleet Surgeon's Memorandum and suggestions for effective use of preventers and harnesses. See the Fleet Surgeon's page for this and other important medical and safety information. |

The CCA is one of three major US yacht clubs to collaborate
on the development of a new VPP racing Rule. This is a natural
and vital extension of the Club's long involvement in rule
development, originating with the famous CCA rule and continuing
with the IMS/MHS rules. |
