When I did mine I used my own boat but got a mate to crew for the day rather than SWMBO (who does things her own way in her own time!). Ensure you can stop the boat in the water next to a man-overboard and can handle her competently in close quarters under power.

I did it in a group at the YC. It was ludicrously easy. The book suggests that you do it in the type of boat you're used to.I had a Snappie 26 and we did the test in a Prout 38 cat as it was the only one in the water in Feb! Even the person who managed an accidental jibe passed! The key thing seemed to be knowing what was going to happen and conveying this to the crew and giving a few orders.

Shouldn't be quite as easy as that. Mob, picking up swinging mooring and windward pontoon, demonstrating knowledge of ColRegs, basic pilotage and navigation - not too different from Day Skipper.

All you need to know is in this book
http://www.amazon.co.uk/RYA-Book-Interna...3225770-9747137
(The RYA site appears to be down - you can get it there too)
I used my own boat with SWMBO and it was fine. Practice the essentials though.

Yes, we did the classroom bit - I rang RYA and asked if I could be exempt the theory as I had YM theory - they said ICC was purely practical so my question was irrelevant /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
The theory was easy - I got 98%
The examiner let some people do it for all of us with suitable explanation. I guess when he is getting 10 fees for one trip he ain't going to make it too much like hard work!
Obviously a priceless international qualification

Sounds like a few corners were cut, the RYA limit the number of students an instructor can assess at once to 5.
Also not sure how you can score 98%, there is no theory test to the ICC. If it was the Cevni test then its marked out of 14
