Reminder that Boating Safety is crucial as accidents are increasing on the water this summer. Get educated and reduce the risks so you can enjoy the day on the boat: https://ow.ly/GTLs50SFb69 #BoatSafety #ReduceRisks

Why not wear a kill cord?? Clearly this device has been designed for everyone's safety and it's not a hindrance. Conclusion is: PLEASE WEAR THE KILL CORD 😉🙏🏻

Instances like the image below are unfortunately far too common in our industry. As professionals, we must recognize the importance of safety and take proactive measures to prevent accidents. Seeing firsthand how quickly accidents can happen should serve as a powerful reminder. It's crucial that we prioritize training, follow safety protocols, and enforce a high standard of safety consciousness. By investing in comprehensive training programs, we equip ourselves and our teams with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate potential hazards. Regular safety drills and workshops can help reinforce these practices, ensuring they become second nature. Enforcing a culture of safety consciousness is equally important. This means encouraging open communication about safety concerns, promoting a non-punitive reporting system, and fostering a supportive environment where everyone feels empowered to speak up. Remember, accidents not only cause physical harm but can also impact productivity, reputation, and overall morale. By prioritizing safety, we not only protect ourselves and our colleagues but also contribute to a healthier and more efficient work environment. Let's make safety our top priority and work together to eliminate unnecessary accidents from our industry. Stay safe, stay vigilant! 💪🔒 #SafetyFirst #WorkplaceSafety #AccidentPrevention #SafetyCulture #IndustryStandards #yachtingworld #Yachting #yachtingworld

In a stark reminder of what can go wrong, usually when you are not expecting it, we wanted to share this video (with permissions) of the importance of wearing the appropriate life saving equipment including kill cords when out on the water in a vessel. This incident occurred at Oreston Quay slipway late last year – the person on the boat, and bystanders on the quay, are all very lucky to still be alive. It was by sheer luck that the area shown wasn’t being used by other water users at the time. Slipways are for the launch and recovery of craft, and others should be aware of the risks in and around the slipways at all times. The video shows how quickly events can change, and on this occasion, no one lost their life, due to luck, and the swift medical response of the public, and emergency services. It can’t be said enough, but thank you to the first responders, harbour staff and blue light services who all attended this particular incident. The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) has many resources on the importance of wearing kill cords, and this video is just one example of what can go wrong in a split second. https://lnkd.in/eyyRVSxP We also have a section on our website which we would encourage all leisure users to familiarise themselves with ahead of the spring and summer seasons. https://lnkd.in/eSsWyQTt Be safe.

Adversity to Triumph: Captain Perkin’s Incredible Story In an industry where the challenges for newcomers never cease, the story of Captain Guy Perkins stands out as one of perseverance, compassionate leadership, and authentic diversity. From a life-altering accident at the tender age of 16 to commanding superyachts with grace, his journey truly defies the odds. Guy's path wasn't just about overcoming physical barriers; it was a testament to his indomitable will, his relentless pursuit of excellence and strengthened by his incredible emotional intelligence. From his early days as a deckhand in the Caribbean to winning the prestigious ACREW Best Captain award, Captain Perkin’s narrative breaks stereotypes and fosters inclusivity every step of the way. It is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve with tenacity, courage, and a supportive community. His story, detailed in an inspiring interview feature on Our Faceless Crew’s website, isn't just his own. It's a narrative shared by many in the shadows, striving against the odds. It's a call to recognize every crew member's contribution and to foster a sense of belonging that transcends conventional barriers. As Our Faceless Crew community launched, we aimed not just to share stories, but to build a community where every voice is heard, every story is valued, and every dream is within reach. I wish to invite all my followers and connections to read our stories, share our experiences, and to find inspiration and camaraderie in our journeys. Each of our challenges and achievements enriches our community. And if you, too, have a story you wish to tell, sound your horn and we will listen. Our yachting community is LISTENING and SUPPORTING. A future where crew is faceless no longer exists.
