We keep discussing of how to attract the future workforce for the industry and how far back we should go to start promoting yachting career.

Fantastic 😄! #yachting #career #recruitment #futureworkforse #nevertooearly #holisticyachtinteriors

[EXPUNGED] A lovely little example of when I put this ideology into practice was when I recently went on a week long Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Competent Crew Course with some fellow students at the University of Westminster. Originally, this trip was only open to full-time students but with a suitable amount of applied pressure (thanks Cher-Crystal Hewitt-De Lisle for the assist) I acquired a spot. I’m honestly in awe of how much of a good time I had, I reckon sailing is something I should have gotten into much earlier. Thank you The Royal Southern Yacht Club for offering every student who attended a free membership to the club, you’ll certainly be seeing a lot of me. Special thanks to Dr Phill McGowan for getting this trip off the ground, I know you had to slay some dragons to do so. Dr Jan Wilcox, Scott King, Teigan Newman thanks for being such legends and giving me faith in academia. Cheers to the following for making this old man feel like a proper student again: Lara Browne, Eric Gherman, Uzair Ali, Aryan Bassi, Funmi Gazal, Pamindu Thehan Gallehewa. …and as a bonus, as someone who loves etymology, did you know that the term telltale, as in, “His telltale smirk revealed he knew more than he was letting on.”, comes from the name of the little flapping ribbons on sails that let you know if you have them correctly trimmed (are at the correct angle to the wind)?
