Patrol Boats
The Club operates two RIBs (Rigid Inflatables Boats) with outboard motors which are used as Patrol Boats (PB). PB training is carried out at Seafarers to provide a cadre of skilled helms and crew to support Club sailing. In addition to initial training, refresher training is provided to ensure all helms remain up-to-date and familiar with Club equipment and procedures.
The slide shows one of our Patrol Boats in a beautiful location, our sailing area, the Solent.

Commodore's Challenge
Each year the programme includes a Commodore’s Challenge to raise money for the Club’s charity.
In 2016 the challenge was to set a new Seafarers’ record for the number of boats/members participating in a Club cruise. Forty-seven members in seventeen dinghies and two RIBs crossed to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club in Wootton Creek and set seven new Club records.
