Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Ben, owner of the 42-foot liveaboard Yabá, travels to Asimut Nautica to complete the IYT Master of Yachts certification — a professional maritime qualification.0:27 His partner MP, initially planning only to observe, joins the course mid-week to pursue the IYT Yacht Master Offshore instead.5:37 Their instructor Arturo, a former merchant marine officer, runs a daily cycle of theory lessons followed by next-morning exams.2:12 Day one covers COLREGS — navigational lights, vessel categories, mooring buoys — with a 90% pass threshold required.4:02 Day two focuses on chart plotting by hand, without electronic plotters.14:57 Practical sessions on a sailboat cover mooring, docking under sail, man-overboard drills, and crew command at the helm; a separate powerboat session adds twin-engine maneuvering and single-engine docking to simulate engine failure.24:50 Ben notes that IYT certifications matter for crossing borders, chartering abroad, and working professionally on other vessels, where national licenses such as Brazil's are not universally recognized.7:27 The six-student cohort includes a mate-engineer from Italy, a former 76-foot captain now working toward larger commercial vessels, a boat-delivery sailor with Mediterranean seasons, an Argentine working in southern France, and a Mar del Plata sailing and diving instructor.33:48 Classroom theory, Ben and MP conclude, reframes the weight of command in ways that miles alone do not.3:19
