The midshipman, staff, and faculty at the Yocum Sailing Center received a lifesaving gift from the USMMA Sailing Foundation recently in the form of two Automated External Defibrillators. The AED's are considered vital in the rescue and resuscitation of a heart failure victim. One of the two units will be mounted in an alarmed storage case just inside the Yocum Sailing Center entrance, and the other will be kept as a portable unit to be carried on longer trips by the Waterfront teams and vessels. Yocum Sailing Center staff received training in the use of the new AED's and refresher CPR and First Aid in two recent courses given by Certified Trainer and Power Vessel Manager Rob Asma. Thank you to the Sailing Foundation and Rob for raising the bar for safety at the Waterfront.
