Congratulations Professional Yachtmasters
Congratulations to Tom (in the middle) and Sebastien (on right) both of whom have just passed their RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualification. They joined with Rod Smith (on left) , the PYT programme co-ordinator for a celebratory glass of champagne after receiving the good news.
They both embarked 18 weeks ago joining Cumbrae 's Professional Yachtmaster Training course and are justifiably delighted with the outcome having successfully passed their exams in very testing conditions, 43 Knots of wind being the biggest gust they experienced over the few days... the last week in November was always likely to be a challenge.
Both of them are delighted to be finished, and to be be able to call themselves Yachtmasters. Sebastien is looking forward to returning to his family in France and Tom to a well earned rest while he considers his next move.
In the final stages of their preparation they were joined by Peter for 3 weeks, he had already built up his sailing miles and joined our Intensive preparation coures he also is now celebrating his new Yactmaster status.
Well done everybody
