I've had the certificate laminated and wear it around my neck - so much less ostentatious than a tie!

I am wondering why this subject has cropped up now? That tie has been around for many years. The one you should bow and scrape to has a single RYA logo in gold and no stripe. Worn by, amongst a few others such as Council members, YM Examiners (well, some anyway).
BTW, you must use this symbol © after writing the word, or its initials, or they might be after you! Of course YM without the symbol means Yachting Monthly! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

It was on the first aid post; quote colmce
"I didn't want hordes of geriatric YMs worrying that they would have to return their ties to to the RYA. "
Gave me the idea to check that the YM © after writing the word, (that's me safe) tie position.
Anyway is thy YM Ocean another © and is it performed by a dentist?

I think they've tightened up on the copyright and trademark issue since the little local difficulty a couple of years ago. There was a US sail training organisation that tried to use the phrase "Yacht Master" in connection with their courses and thus, allegedly, pass themselves off as RYA approved.
Dunno if it's performed by a dentist - you'd have to ask Becky /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

[/ QUOTE ]It wasn't that International Yachtmaster Training tried to pass themselves off as RYA approved, but that they gained MCA approval for offering "Yachtmaster" training courses. RYA did not welcome the opposition, and flexed muscle. However IYT still operates in the US, and I think they and other foreign training organisations still use the term 'Yachtmaster' for their qualifications.
At one time it was being suggested that IYT were trying to copyright the term 'Yachtmaster' and RYA not unreasonably objected to this. Now it seems that its swung the other way, and RYA have done so - or at least registered it as a trademark, what's the difference? Not sure whose side I'm on in this. One must respect RYA's achievement in setting an internationally acknowledged training standard, but it feels a bit like as if BSM were copyrighting the word 'driver'.
