Bow thruster dependency increasing

[doris]

There is no RYA way, never has been, they have a syllabus, that's it. For example, if you look at their information on MOB, you will see multiple ways are mentioned. Calculating height of tide, there are a few different ways offered, same with fixing your yachts position et cetera.

If one has the joy of a newly qualified yachtmaster on board one might revise that thought.

One would not revise that thought. The newly qualified Yachtmaster should have the ability to modify whatever element of seamanship is required.

It's my experience that the newly qualified in any area know everything. It takes years to understand the depths of one's ignorance.

I only began to delve the depths of my ignorance after doing my Yachtmaster. Until then I'd known it all as a Day Skipper and was ready for a circumnavigation after my Comp Crew.

So you expended money and time for two exams you didn't think you needed.

I haven't read all of the thread but...

I've chartered a fair bit, and if a bow thruster is fitted I use it, perhaps over use it, and of it isn't fitted, I don't. The outcomes seem to be the same.

It's always a problem, using things that aren't fitted.

By the time you’ve finished looking for the switch, the accident you were seeking to avoid has already happened.

The RYA can be very convincing. In the same way the mafia can be very convincing.
