Weβre excited to welcome Rob Sijbers, a doctor and experienced sailor, who will be hosting a practical “First Aid for sailors” workshop on Sunday, May 25th at 11:00 AM in the DYR tent!
This workshop is perfect for parents, guardians, trainers, coaches and especially rescue personnel. Rob will cover essential first aid techniques tailored for the sailing environment. Whether itβs handling cuts and scrapes, bruises, the infamous boom-to-the-head situation, or more serious concerns like hypothermia, exhaustion, or dehydration, Rob will teach you how to manage these common injuries and keep your sailors safe. π©Ήβ
