Everything Built4Speed said. Plus:
First of the present fleet arrived 2002, so let's call it 10 years for RYR as we know and love it, and stop playing silly buggers about Bandierantes 27 years ago. And it's increased by 600% since then...
Thin ice, skin of the teeth etc. And yes, the fleet is not getting any younger, even if the new skippers are. Have you actually taken the time to talk to the engineers recently? Probably not, as they are spread pretty thin, and sometimes non-existant, and you don't have time anyway, if you are doing all your SOPs properly. How much pressure will there be this summer to carry those "little" snags home to get signed off?
Not allowed to practise V/S approaches on line? Not what the manual says.
Back to thread, anyone? Strike one more off.
Out of here.
