Safety Statements

  • A man and a girl on a boat with water and a city skyline in the background. The man is looking at the girl, who is holding and looking at a device, possibly a phone or camera. Some other people's heads are partially visible in the foreground.

    Safety Protocols

    Safety is an everyday priority at New Light Sailing. From the first day aboard, students are shown the location and the proper use of all emergency equipment. We operate in full compliance with all the requirements by the United States Coast Guard OUPV regulations.

  • A group of young men are working on a sailboat docked at a marina with city buildings in the background, under a clear blue sky.

    Student Training

    Safety is a team effort—everyone plays a role in operating a boat responsibly. Students participate in regular safety drills to reduce and mitigate unclarity in the case of an emergency. Safety requires practice, and we practice every day.

  • People gathered around a table on a boat with the Statue of Liberty in the background, under a clear blue sky.

    Student Participation

    Safety starts with you. We encourage all students to actively participate in our activities. However, if a student is not comfortable or ready to fully participate, we respect that decision. Safety and well-being aboard the vessel always come first.
