Hi All,
I have been selected to join a crew that will be racing from Victoria, British Columbia, to Maui, Hawaii that will take (hopefully, as we are racing) under two weeks. I have also been selected to be in charge of medical equipment for the race. What would you guys take on the a sailing race of this caliber. We will be up to 2000 miles off-shore at some points and therefore extended care could be expected. In addition there are some older (65 is the oldest) I think, so I am bringing an AED with me. Any suggestions for other equipment? Also, do you think that I should be asking the crew to email me (confidentially of course) or the skipper, their relevant medical history/allergies etc. to have on file?
Any advice would be appreciated and if this is in the wrong place please do let me know.
Thanks,
Johnny
