Tobias (aka 2beers) and Geoff (aka Dad) both successfully passed there RYA Yachtmaster practical examination this weekend, after a week of training in Gibraltar Bay, sailing in a diverse mix of weather, Saturday blessed them with sunshine and clear skies and a steady 15 knots of breeze, ideal sailing conditions. This joint pass has maintained Atlantic Charters now enviable 100% pass rate for students who have trained with us in Gibraltar for a week of Yachtmaster prep. Sean Furney the RYA Yachtmaster Examiner, who put the 2 guys through their paces, said afterwards that their standard and ability was a credit to the training they had received.
