Lifejackets, lifebuoys, Man overboard sling, Life raft, Flares and Fire Extinguishers are carried and have passed inspection.
The electronic equipment we carry: Radar - Garmin; GPS - Raymarine; AIS - Simrad; Echo sounder - Raymarine; VHF radio - 2xIcom.

Sea Leopard also has a powerpoint for charging laptops & mobile phones etc. Within the forward cabin area we have two bunks and a toilet. We also have a stove and oven with a kettle that is on 24/7 for those who cannot do without their cup of tea.

Sea Leopard is based in Dover and can be put to sea at any time, weather permitting of course!

Weather

Weather in the Channel is very unpredictable. Below are some of the weather and tide information websites that swimmers may find useful for organising training swims, as well as in the days leading up to the Channel Swim. Interpreting the information in conjunction with the changing tides is an art in itself - interesting and often frustrating when the conditions predicted are very different from those experienced. That is why the English Channel is so hard - and also so appealing to swimmers from all over the World.
