Re: anyone here own yachts ?
i took the course with a gentleman with over 35 years experience in the navy and commercial shipping. made it look real easy ... but i found the theory harder than the practical ... not used to "cramming for exams" anymore ... been a very long time since i did that ...
if you would like his name, pm me.
i bought a small run-around late last year ... an open-deck day cruiser ... real neat ... but soon tired of it as you could not get out of the sun/rain if you wanted to. also, was perfect for real calm waters but more than a handful out at sea. ended up bobbing like a cork. got something a bit bigger with a roof over my head ... having a blast with it. waiting for the end of march (& the rains) before heading out to tioman or riau islands for a week of R&R ...
apart from actual fuel costs, running costs are quite low ... perhaps about the same as a car ...

Re: anyone here own yachts ?
lol..this is unusual. most people find theory a lot harder. try taking with the saf yacht club if it is not defunct by now - their practical test is a mere formality
yup.. used to be 5 wrong answers for a godzillion number of questions and you are out

Re: anyone here own yachts ?
practicals are now at the poly marina - next to rsyc ... & you are right, it's quite easy. the examiners are not cussed about you getting everything correct to a T ... so long as you understand and demonstrate your knowledge regarding the safety aspects involved. the practical is followed by a short debrief session where he shows you cards with buoys/lights/markers/etc. and wants to see whether you recognize them. all safety related.
theory still the same ... need 26 right answers out of 30 questions. computer based.

Re: anyone here own yachts ?
If you are not too fussy about what craft you fish in, there are cheaper alternative. Go down to Punggol Marina and have a chat with either Tom or Marcus (318iS owner also) at the waterski shop. I use to have a small fishing boat Shamrock 26 and a 50HP runabout which I have taken all the way to Tioman and the lots. Also did quite a bit of exploring in the Riaus. Those were the days. Now no longer can afford such lifestyle.
