That charter contract has some language in it that you need to read carefully as you are warranting (guarenteeing) that you have the ability and experience to handle the boat. I asked for some language changes and got them as the market for charters is soft.
I'd like to hear more about what specific changes you asked for ... changing what to what, for ex.?

thanks.
