Commercial Driver Required - Wednesday 19th

[Jimbo]

I have just had a job come in supporting a sailing regatta on Wednesday of this week. I'm supposed to be moving house, so am trying to find another skipper if possible.

It would be on board Evolution, departing Haslar marina at a suitably ungodly hour to be up at Port Solent by 0800hrs (!).

The skipper must either hold a Commercially Endorsed Powerboat Level 2 certificate, or a Commercially Endorsed Advanced Powerboat.

Reasonable rate of pay for the day.

Regards,

Jimbo

That's a bugger mate, I was going to call you but knew midweek would be a problem.

Call a sicky!

[Jimbo]

Now Sorted.

As you have solved the problem and filled the place, I am going to hijack this thread slightly.

How do you have a commercially endorsed level 2. I know you can have them, but how do you get your level 2 commercially endorsed?

I have my powerboat level 1, 2 and intermediate, I have Sea Survival, First Aid and VHF Radio Licence.

Would it just be a medical to have this commercially endorsed?

Cheers,

yep - and a bit of form filling in, a photo and £20 (I think)

[Jimbo]

Yep, wot Peter said.

Form can be found here - clicky.

Bear in mind though, a commercial Level 2 does limit what you can do, and a lot of places won't allow you to skipper their ribs unless you have done the Advanced Exam.

Just found the document that tells you which certificate you will need to do what with - it's on the RYA website, here: http://www.rya.org.uk/NR/rdonlyres/6...Ineedtable.pdf
