World Sailing recommends skippers and crew members to complete an ISAF Safety Training every 5 years. To participate at races of category 0/1/2 (e.g. Daimler Chrysler North Atlantic Challenge, Fastnet Race, Middle Sea Race) the ISAF requires that a minimum of 30% of the crew (incl. skipper) have absolved a World Sailing Safety Training within 5 years before the start of the race.
