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?
No. Why do you assume I have any knowlege of your system? I've said several
times that I don't, and whenever I've asked about it you haven't responded.
I still don't know if the "blind navigation" test is part of the "shore based"
part. It seems not, because you claimed it takes place on a boat underway. But
you siad you only did the shorebase part. I'm not trying to be obstuse, you're
simply not answering the question.

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.
So are you claiming you have a yachtmaster? You're going in circles here.
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.
No, you gave a rather poor description. When pressed you refused to clarify,
claiming you couldn't remember. It was John that gave a description that made
sense.
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".
Excuse me for not knowing your life story. If you can't remember it, how can
you expect me to?
So are you saying that the "blind navigation" text is one that is really part of
a license that you don't actually have? Did you take the test for real or for
practice? Don't you see why this could be confusing?
For some very odd reason, you refuse to believe me. That is your problem,
not mine.
I don't believe or not believe. We've asked you to clarify but you seem to take
this as a game.
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.
OK, I give up. Just what is the "practical" yachtmaster? Is yours an
"impractical" yachtmaster?
