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.
Yachtmaster is nothing special. Are you fooled by the title?
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.
I've practised it, as I described it. You should try it.
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?
Only to someone who wanted to think that I was bul****ting.
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.
Yes, it is. Wake up, Jeff.
You've been here for a number of years. Have you been ignoring me? I
have always presented myself as a newbie to the sport of sailing.
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?
No, as I explained before, there is a "theory", or "shorebased" course.
There is also a "practical" or boat based element to the "Yachtmaster". I
explained this to you on the 24th December, and you replied - so you *did*
read it. Furthermore, you recentely made a post which suggested that you
understood the difference between the two. Do I need to do a "Google" to
find ir for you?

Donal
