Really! explain what makes you an expert on this. That's borderline slander. John, you should really refrain
posting just to post. Have you ever been to a
sailing school in Thailand or hold a IYT or RYA rating?
there are several very good, ACCREDITED, sailing schools in SE
Asia.
The RYA one in Langkawi is very well reviewed and been in business for a long time with professional instructors. It's seasonal and
books up fast.
There is Java Yachting, operated year-round out of Krabi/ Phuket owned by John Coffin a master mariner and IYT examiner; it is excellent. they have a connection with
China and Chinese speaking staff. They also have boats to
charter and regularly participate in regattas. I have had dealings with John in the past and he is a fantastic guy and runs a super professionally outfit
There is another IYT
school a small one on the other side of Thailand.
As far as I know there isnt a
school in Singapore -
Thailand is perfect for competent crew or day skipper.
