ICC Question

[Geoff A]

Not wanting to hijack ICC accepted in NZ. I would like to know the answer to the following question. I have an ICC that expired the best part of 20 years ago. I still have my RYA pass certificates for Day Skipper and Competent Crew dating back to the mid 1970s. I am thinking that if I showed this paper work to an official of a foreign country it would prove I was a competent sailor, plus the fact that I had arrived safely to their country. My age is mid 70s. I believe because of the age of my paper work I will have problems renewing my ICC via the RYA. I would like to know your collective opinions.

Day skipper does not expire and having one gives you access to an iCC. I don't think your existing ICC will even come into it.

I enquired a couple of years ago about renewing my 10 year expired ICC they said no problem but with original certificates they also said that it would definitely be no problem, I was 72 at the time.
As for Day Skipper or an expired ICC being accepted I doubt it, I don't think the DS would be recognised and the ICC needs to be in date.

Why do you think you will have problems getting an ICC from the RYA? An age discrimination court case would be interesting on the front page of the UK press.

It is given 'free' to members who hold a Day Skipper and above.

I am only going on my failing memory of past posts on this subject.

You should be fine, join the RYA, add your day skipper to your quals list and request the ICC. You may have a problem if you no longer have the DS certificate.

Free to members who have a Day Skipper and qualify in terms of nationality and residency.

On this forum, you are likely to get more answers than there are badgers. My advice would be to ring RYA Training!

I've just renewed mine after several years, no problem, all online. Had to pay as I don't belong to the RYA.
