sailmaster25 is on a distinguished road
14d Greece charter :Athens - as far as possible - Athens???

This is a perfect example of why people get hurt and cause such mayhem and disaster in our harbors during the summer season.
Greek brokers letting these yahoos take a yacht out into some of the most unfriendly waters in the Aegean.
Lets see: they have:-
NO SAILING QUALIFICATIONS, NO LICENSE, NO LOWER CREW LICENSE...ETC
NO V.H.F LICENSE AND MOST LIKELY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO OPERATE A GDMSS VHF SYSTEM.
NO FIRST AID CERTIFICATE, SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE OF THEM GETS HIT ON THE HEAD WITH THE BOOM OR CATCHES HIS HAND IN A WINCH???

In order for A professional Captain to take out a bare boat with guests he must have all of the above.
But when you just want to rent a bareboat and do not want a Professional Captain, its OK to just have ''SAILING EXPERIENCE''.....
Come on this is total ********!!
