Everyone who is involved with boat transportation has gone through some type of First Aid training along with CPR.  All deckhands, skippers, and other crew must have this training in case of emergency.  It is also important to continue to take classes through the Red Cross in the United States so that you have the most current information and to make sure you can remember how to administer first aid when it counts.

What You Need To Do

If you are working for Boat Transport Company or any other other part of the marine industry be sure to contact Red Cross and make sure your first aid and CPR is current.  If you are looking to hire someone in the marine industry to deliver your boat be sure that they have this certification so that there is less risk of death and injury.  The ability of the crew to understand the basics of first aid can mean life and death on the sea.

Schock sailboats are mostly designed for small boat racing, day trips, and coastal racing.  Schock boats was founded by Tom Schock and his brother ownes a powerboat business as well.  The sailboat warehouse in Corona, CA has many different types of boats that are in production.

Types of Schock Boats

There are many different types of boats built by Schock but some include the Schock 40 with a canting keel, the Schock 35 which is a very pouplar coastal racing boat even though the class is dieing.  The Lido and Sabot can also been seen coming from their wearehouse.  Boat transport company frequently delivers Schock boats to many destinations around California and we suggest you sail them as much as possible.

Ocean Sailboat – The Recreational Vessel of the Indipendent Mariner

The “ocean sailboat” is typically over 20 feet and used outside of coastal waterways.  While many boats can be used on the ocean, the ocean sailboat is designed for this exact use.  Ocean sailboats could include race boats that are designed for the ocean and normally powered by sail. 

Keel, Trimaranas, and Catamarans can be Ocean Sailboats

Trimarans and catamarans could also fit into this category if they are made for sailing and ocean weather.  One famous sailor that could be included under the ocean sailboat designed for racing is Randy Smyth.  Randy is not only a world class ocean sailboat racer but also a small catamaran winner as well from the Worrell 1000.  The fastest ocean sailboats are multihull sailboats.  They provide a lighter hull design which allows for much faster speeds above the water.  This is also in part becuase the hull below the water tipically hass less surface and weight.  While contemporary multihulls with weather systems are very safe on the ocean many mariners prefer a keelboat becuase they believe they are safer and less likely to encounter major capsize problems while underway.

How Strong is an Ocean Sailboat?

Ocean sailing requires some level of duribility becuase the sea conditions can break apart and damage a undermade boat easily.  This means that you want a sturdy boat when waves and weather are against you when underway and in the ocean.  Sail cloth is normally much stronger on ocean sailboats becuase it needs to be stong enough to with stand long passages in variable direction and strong wind conditions.  The hull must also be very durable because if any part of the hull is damaged by dead heads (logs in the water) or other sea life you will most likely have a difficult time repairing it on the passage.  All of the equipment down to each shackel must be of grade “A” quality so that it does not get dammaged or broken in the middle of the ocean.

Finding an Ocean Sailboat

It is easy to find ocean sailboats in marinas on the ocean.  Just look at any ocean marina including the largest man built marina in the world, “Marina del Rey.”  There are many ocean sailboats here and many are just passing in from Japan, Canada, and Mexico.  Contact us directly for listings of ocean sailboats or if you want to list your boat at contact@boattransportcompany.com.
