4). They are bringing into line like us COMMERCIAL ENDORSED SKIPPERS, it will need renewing every 5 years, but no medical envolved.
5). PAUL, I very much doubt it, that a ICC will be issued for a BSAC ticket.
6). Also heard that instuctors RYA will be having new rules soon 
Remember this is all hear say . |
most of it
But as I have a RYA training center - i'll let you in on it
1) the RYA do know what is going on - they administer it and have effectivley communicated with all the training centers principals
2) new rules came into effect 01/01/05
3) A for sail ICC allows you to use its engines regardless of size
4) its nothing to do with commercial endorsements
5) you cant get a icc for a BSAC ticket
7) they already have them effective from 01/01/05 that is.....
Anyone taking a Advanced powerboat course after 01/01/05 who wishes to have that ticket commercially endorsed must take a exam held by an examiner who is not the instructor (currently the same examiners who do the yatchmaster exams)
