YBW story
From the YBW article
Yet in the original thread one of the crew said that even though he had a Day Skipper ticket, he felt he was not experienced enough to helm.
Someone should explain to Mr Manning that RYA tickets do not necessarily bestow experience (or indeed, common sense).
From the YBW article
Given the press coverage and some very negative comments on social media and in forums etc that surround this rescue, we feel it is important to highlight that all six crew were paying individuals gaining further yachting experience and all were existing Hot Liquid sea school students and all had an RYA qualification; there were no novices on board.
