What are the minimum entry requirements to complete the IYT Master of Yachts 200 Tons (Offshore) Course?
- IYT Master of Yachts 200 Tons Candidates must have logged 50 days on board a yacht at sea
as an active member of the crew to be able to participate in the course. For the purpose of this requirement, a day is defined as a period of 24 consecutive hours. Parts of a day may not be included in this total, but a day is not invalidated by a candidate leaving the yacht for a few hours during a cruise. The term “at sea” is defined as being on a vessel outside of any
harbor - natural or artificial - in which a cruising yacht could secure or anchor for a prolonged period of time.
- Candidates must also have logged 3,000 miles in a yacht while cruising at sea. This mileage must be logged on genuine cruises or passages but not short day trips. At least 2000 miles must have been completed on coastal voyages and not Ocean crossings. The candidate MUST have considerable time of actual vessel handling.
- Candidates must have five varied passages with rhumb lines of over 60 miles, two of which the candidate must have been undertaking the duties of captain or watchkeeper during the passage.
- 30 hours on watch at night underway as an active member of a yacht’s crew. For at least six hours of this night time experience, the candidate must have been acting as the vessel’s captain/watchleader. “Night,” in this context, is defined as the time between sunset and sunrise.
- A Current Medical Exam and Eyesight Examination which allows the participant to perform safely the relevant duties on a yacht, including being able to see and distinguish lights and signals of other vessels and navigational marks in typical weather conditions without risk to him/herself, other crewmembers or the safe operation of the vessel.
* Candidates may sit the shore-based course prior to having all the above requirements.
* Verification of the above yachting experience must be original and signed by the Captain of the yacht in which the candidate was sailing. Candidates claiming sea time during times when they were acting as Captain may sign their own entries but independent verification will be required and checked by IYT.
