Huge congratulations go to Kishawn Harrigan who has, this month, become only one of a handful of Antiguan sailors to ever achieve their RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualifications. Kishawn has worked with Ondeck for many years and will be taking up the post of lead skipper. Not content with this accolade he will shortly be completing his RYA Cruising Instructor course enabling him to teach to Day Skipper and Competent Crew. He will then be just one of two instructors born and raised here qualified to teach to this level. Fortunately the other , Logan Knight, is also with Ondeck
We have had a busy and very varied week or so on the training front with quite a few congratulations to be made. As previously covered there were successes on Powerboat Level 2 [on a serious note see the accident report on the importance of proper safety kill cord MAIB ] and on Yachtmaster Ocean theory for a number of candidates. In Addition Nick Newling Ward and Fiona O’ Connor from the BVI’s passed their Yachtmaster Offshore exam along with Joey Compton.
A number of Candidates have passed their SRC Radio and we had a great group of 4 ladies doing their Competent Crew and Day skipper Practical courses Well done to Alex, Are, Susanna and Fenella.
This weekend sees the start of the St Thomas Regatta followed by the BVI Spring Regatta with Ondeck’s Spirits of Venus and Athena taking part and Monday busy STCW Basic Safety Training, Competent Crew and Day skipper courses
Well done to Sue and Roger Sargeant & Richard and Juliet Evans for completing their #RYA Competent Crew and Day Skipper practical courses. Despite some nerves beforehand they all did extremely well and had a wonderful few days learning to sail. Pictured are Sue and Juliet with the superyacht Skat in the background. Richard and Roger , nowhere to be seen and rumoured to be celebrating in the bar below.

We have a lovely lady who is 60 and wants to do her 5 day RYA Competent Crew course for novices on 3rd Feb 2013. So if you would like to join , are feeling active but dont want to be surrounded by teenagers then this is the course for you. Its just US $920 for 5 days, living on board with 2 meals per day and plenty of time to enjoy our beautiful island
This was the week to get our existing and prospective crew out to blow off the cobwebs and learn some new sailing skills in preparation for the coming season. All of the crew get to at least RYA Day Skipper and we are proud of our track record of training young Antiguan men and women through to be professional skippers opening up many opportunities within Ondeck , other operators and the international yacht industry
