WANT TO BE A MEGAYACHT

CAPTAIN OR MATE ? or maybe you would like to handle your own boat like a professional.

Yacht owners and managers are looking for licensed skippers who have demonstrated their proficiency in handling large yachts. Captains or Mates of smaller boats can move up to an interesting professional job if qualified. If it is your own boat, you might want to join in seminars with professionals and get "hands-on" experience in handling emergency situations.

One approach to either of these goals is to consider a new hi-tech course for yacht

Captains. MarineSafety is a division of FlightSafety International, the leading professional training company for executive and commercial aircraft pilots. We have developed a 3-day simulator course which provides hands-on experience in docking and maneuvering a 133- foot twin-diesel motoryacht. A certificate is awarded and a ProCard™ can be earned by qualified Captains, passing an optional "road test". Courses are presented in Newport, Ra- ftings Point, MY; San Diego, CA; and Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

For schedule and fee information on this simulator course, write or call Tom Qarrigan at MarineSafety
