In the great scheme of all the subjects one needs to know and have skills in, how important is the actual level of competence re sailing skills to the whole thing. ?? personally I think too many spend too much time , money and worry on RYA type courses and YOTTMEISTER certs etc than on the other necessities.. For example.. Electrical skills Plumbing skills Engine repair and maintenance skills Hull n Deck repairs and leak proofing Close quarter boat handling (not done on rya courses in a relistic way) General carpentry Material skills (as in SEWING) Budgetry control and awareness Provisioning and stowage. etc etc etc How important are 'recognised' sailing skills in the great scheme of liveaboard cruising You may choose only one less than 15% Less than 30% Less than 50% less than 80% More than 80% If you started out again, would you pay as much for rya or similar courses and time You may choose only one Yes No Votes accepted from (19/04/2008 11:00) to (No end specified) You must vote before you can view the results of this poll -------------------- PM me for info re SSB's etc. Bought, sold, repaired, fitted and optimised.
