John, get your knife and fork out.
I don't know why - John had you pegged pretty well.
I have **never** claimed to have the Yachmaster Practical. Quite the
opposite. I have often pointed out that I only took the Shorebased
exam.
Joe, and Jeff should both be aware of this. Therefore, I felt no
obligation to correct them at all.
You're assuming I have any idea what the meaning of "shorebased exam" is.
You implied you took a course where the test involved navigating while on
board - is that what you call shore based? When pressed on the details of
the
"blind navigation" test you said: "It's 13-14 years since I did the
course, so
I'm cannot give you the specifics of what is required." That certainly
sounds
like you actually took this test. However, your very confused answers
seemed to
show that you never could have passed it.
In fact, a few weeks ago I wrote the following
" I've only done the shorebased element.".
Here is a link to it on Google.

What's the point? Does anyone care? First you claim to have done it,
now
you're saying you haven't. Truth is very pliable for you, isn't it?
You will notice that Jeff read that post, and replied to it.
So? What are you claiming? That you took the course but flunked the
test?
Do a search for "donal yachtmaster shorebased" in Google groups. 15
hits.
Now use Google to find any claim that I possess the Yachtmaster
Practical.
What is that? Is that the shore based part?
Are you *pretending* to be stupid?

Quote :- "I've said before that I am a novice sailor. "
In fact, I've said that many times. Do a Google. It's all there.
As near as I can tell its possible to get a YachtMaster while still a
novice.
What's your point?
Yes, It is possible to get a Yachtmaster while still a novice. That *is* my
point.
Your first post to me contained these words:-
"Go on, be brave, face me down on this one. I will eat humble pie if
needed
but IMO you are a faker!"
Nope. You're still a faker. You implied you had done the "blind
navigation
test,"
I did *not*. I said that I had done blind navigation. I have! Not only
have I done blind navigation, but I have also given you a good description
of what it is like.
You seem to be missing the fact that I was heavily involved in the setting
up of a sailing club that was formed by a group of people who did the
"shorebased" course together. We got on so well that we set up a club when
the course ended. Afterwards, we carried on with the "instructional" theme.
We had weekends afloaat where we practised "man overboard" routines. We
practised sailing without using the rudder. We also practised "blind
sailing".
For some very odd reason, you refuse to believe me. That is your problem,
not mine.
now you seem to be saying you didn't. Whether you have or haven't
really does make any difference. You could clarify this is you wanted,
but you
seem to prefer looking like a faker.
You are really taking the **** here.
On the 24th of December, you answered one of my posts. In that post I
explicitely stated that I did *NOT" have the practical Yachtmaster.
How can you now claim that I was trying to deceive you? For Gawd's sake, it
was only 4 weeks ago????

Donal
