Boat Flags & Boat Flag Etiquette
Saved by uncleflo on September 23rd, 2022.
The United States Flag Code provides advisory rules for display and care of the American Flag, but there are also specific guidelines for flying flags on recreational boats. In fact, boat flag etiquette not only ensures that the flag is displayed respectfully, it actually helps boaters to identify one another and communicate while on open water. The five most common types of boat flags are Ensign, Burgee, Private Signal, Courtesy and Signal Flags.

Sampson Boat Co.
Saved by uncleflo on February 12th, 2022.
Right now, I’m on a mission to rebuild a 111-year old (as of 2021) English sailing yacht called Tally Ho. Designed by Albert Strange in 1909, she is a well-known and important historic vessel – but after many adventures she was left in a remote port in Oregon to rot for decades, despite some valiant attempts to rescue her. I bought her and moved her to the Olympic Peninsular earlier this year, and am now starting to rebuild her from the keel up. Eventually I hope to sail her back to the UK. If you are interesting in supporting this mission you can do so here. I started the Sampson Boat Co in 2013 as a platform through which to work as a self-employed Boatbuilder. Since then I have also started writing about my sailing and boatbuilding projects, so this website has become a kind of blog, as well as a display of my work.

International Flotilla Skipper | IYT Worldwide
Saved by uncleflo on December 22nd, 2019.
Joining a “flotilla” is a fun and exciting way to learn how to confidently skipper a charter yacht for the very first time. A group of boats sail together (flotilla) along a set route, with a “lead boat” in charge, overseeing the safety of all the boats where all the boats are within range of a VHF radio call if required. Before departing in the morning, a route is planned for the day with a set destination for the evenings so that all the boats can anchor or tie up to a mooring buoy (before dark) for the night. Generally speaking, flotillas are restricted to passages close to shore, in fair weather and in good visibility. They are usually followed in the evenings by a beach bar-b-que or dinner together in a social atmosphere where students can swap stories and learn from each other. It is a great way to make new friends and build your confidence, while still enjoying the freedom of being in command of your own vessel with your family and friends.

IYT Day Skipper / Crew Sail | IYT Worldwide
Saved by uncleflo on December 22nd, 2019.
This is a 3 to 4 day course, depending on wind and conditions, aimed to deliver a safe, informed, confident and competent day sailor/skipper who can confidently command a sailboat up to 10 meters (32.8 feet) and crew during daylight hours in fair conditions in inland waters (bay or lake sailing) or coastal waters up to 5 miles offshore. As you advance and become more proficient as crew or skipper you take on bigger challenges that require proper training to ensure the safety of your family and friends. The bigger the boat or length of adventure the more training you require. Most of us prefer to spend our time on the water and not in a classroom. To facilitate this, IYT has a series of E-learning courses available for the theoretical part of sail and powerboat training.

RYA Day Skipper Practical - Sail The Canaries
Saved by uncleflo on December 17th, 2019.
Each trainee skipper will be asked to skipper the yacht on a short passage. Your instructor will be on hand to give advice and encouragement and to ensure that your destination is reached safely. The essential element is that you experience being in charge and take the credit when all goes well, but also have responsibility when it doesn`t. The end of each day is usually spent around the chart table discussing the passages and gaining from each other`s experience. Day Skipper Practical is the normal follow on Practical course from Competent Crew, however the theory knowledge must be gained prior to attempting this practical course. The course will cover, preparation for sea, deck work, navigation, pilotage, meteorology, rules of the road, maintenance and repair work, engines, victualing, emergency situations, yacht handling under power, yacht handling under sail, passage making and night cruising.

Day Skipper teaches you the skills you’ll need to skipper a small yacht by day. It’s a fairly intense course, covering navigation, passage planning, practical pilotage, seamanship and boat-handling, including ‘Med’-mooring – everything you need to become a confident skipper.

ICC Sail Course - Portsmouth and Chichester Marine Training Portsmouth and Chichester Marine Training
Saved by uncleflo on August 14th, 2019.
The ICC Sail course gives you the certificate you need for chartering sailing yachts in the Mediterranean and further afield. The International Certificate of Competence (ICC) is used as evidence of the skipper’s competence by many countries. At the end of this course you will have done the assessment needed to gain your ICC for sail boats. The first day will be spent refreshing the skills that will be needed to pass the ICC assessment. This will include pre-start checks and safety briefing, berthing, close quarters manoeuvres, handling under sail, man overboard practice, revision of the collision regulations, navigation techniques and pilotage. The second day will be the assessment day. There are no formal requirements but this course is not aimed at beginners. It is recommended your abilities and knowledge are up to the same standard as the RYA’s Day Skipper qualification. If you would like to discuss the suitability of this course for you, please feel free to contact us by email, phone, or pop into the office for a chat.

International Certificate of Competence (ICC) | Specialist Courses
Saved by uncleflo on August 14th, 2019.
The International Certificate of Competence (ICC) is required by most European countries (excluding the UK) as evidence of a basic level of competence. There is actually no internationaly agreed competence certificate and it is worth noting that the onus is on you to check the requirements of the state you are visiting. Member states are not obliged to accept the ICC however it is normally widely recognised. It can not be issued to nationals of UNECE Member countries unless they are British Nationals or Residents of the UK. See here for a full list of UNECE countries whose citizens are NOT able to apply for an ICC issued by the RYA.

International Certificate of Competency (ICC) | Comparable IYT Certificates | IYT Worldwide
Saved by uncleflo on August 14th, 2019.
In the past, if you were chartering in Europe, an International Certificate of Competency (ICC) may have been sufficient proof of your ability to safely operate a boat. However, it has recently been brought to our attention that a number of European charter companies and insurance companies will not accept an ICC as sufficient proof to command a yacht for a one week bareboat charter (power or sail). These companies are insisting that the charterer should hold an IYT International Flotilla Skipper or IYT International Bareboat Skipper, power or sail (or equivalent qualification that is on their “approved” list). The charter companies and insurance companies do not have a comfort level handing over an expensive yacht to someone who they feel is not sufficiently qualified to command it for a weeks duration.

You are welcome to join one of the courses advertised on our website. Alternatively, we would be delighted to come to your office and run a sailing course for yourself and your colleagues. There may be a certain charm to such convenience. In London we run Day Skipper, Yachtmaster and Ocean Yachtmaster navigation classes as well as the RYA 1 day courses in various locations. We usually have something running within the City, Canary Wharf, Holborn and Limehouse but we will and do run courses anywhere in London. Shorebased sailing courses are extremely popular within the Capital. We have a base in Limehouse at the Cruising Association from where we run the full range of RYA shorebased courses but we also specialise in going into the offices of companies all over London, from Canary Wharf to Brentford, and running evening classes for employees of those companies and their family and friends. ‘Outsiders’ to these companies (ie non employees) are also often allowed to attend.
