Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to sail small boats, under 8.5 metres length of deck, in moderate to fresh wind conditions within partially smooth waters. It requires the ability to launch, land and sail; steer on all points of sail, and to tack and gybe. It also requires the ability to rescue crew members from the water, recover from a capsize, and to operate small boats under tow.This unit provides the skills to sail in partially smooth water conditions found within ports, bays and harbours, and sheltered coastal areas up to 2 nautical miles seaward from the coast. Sailors at this level can sail in variable winds from moderate winds of 11 to 16 knots and in fresh winds of 17 to 21 knots (Beaufort Scale).Partially smooth water could feature small white capping waves up to 1.25 metres. When fresh winds prevail, water could feature long moderate sized white capping waves between 1.25 and 2.5 metres.It applies to leaders, guides or instructors, who use these skills when leading participants during sailing activities. Leadership skills are provided in complementary units.This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.Recreational boating is regulated by specific laws in each Australian state and territory with variable rules. General and specific waterway rules apply to the operation of small boats. All training and assessment activities must comply with the local state or territory requirements. No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
