UK? RYA site has all the requirements (www.rya.org.uk - look under training)but to be an instructor you have to be 16 (I'm doing this from memory but think I'm correct!) You also need to pass a pre-entry assessment before doing the course, which isn't too difficult if you're doing plenty of sailing (most people I've spoken to are worried about the sailing without a rudder but in my view MOB is more difficult because you have to get it perfect first time). If I remember rightly mine was in a F5 with big waves and I had to slam the boom out to stop the boat as I was travelling too fast. We also did it with a real crew falling in the water and if it hadn't been for the safetyboat standing by them I would have lost sight of them after going 2 boat lengths. You also now need powerboat level 2.
Bear in mind that you will have to be able to sail a range of boats competently and if you're smallish that can be a challenge in a Wayfarer (on the other hand you haven't seen me (85Kg) sail an Oppie). Edited by Garry |

Good to see Sailor Girl and Brian sniping at each other again, just waiting for Hurricane to wade in now....BTW, I wish I could get my dad to do my OOD for me, but he just wants to nick my boat when I can't sail it! He's 74....I guess it's my fault for buying a Solo, he never tried to go out in the 300!
