500grt 100,000Nm+ Captain available now

Hi,

Can you tell us what Certificate of Competency you hold?

There have been a few CV's I have seen where the holders idea of what they hold differs somewhat to Maritime NZ.

Hi,

You are still not being very open about your qualifications.

Where was it issued? What is it called under STCW95?

If you have this 500ton ticket why do you need an ILM?

It's nice to know bits of paper are so important in todays yachting industry.

Some of the best and most experienced Captains I've sailed with have had no papers what so ever. I can be certain that the very worst have every piece of certification you could achieve but I wouldn't trust with a rubber duckie.

Anyway, handbags at the ready..............

Hi,

I wasn't directly questioning your qualifications or experience, I was just as any prospective employer would do asking what paperwork you actually have.

Simply saying you have an International Ticket means nothing.

If I saw just that on a CV and there was nothing outstanding about the rest of the info provided it would not make the short list.

Captain --

Looks like you've been a YF member here for almost 3 years and your only previous post, your original one, was also looking for a job. Not sure that posting history entitles you to a bold response. Nonetheless, you should know enough about YF that if it seems like you are being questioned, it is either for your benefit or others. This thread should have benefitted both.

With all of your international experience, hope we see some good input on this give and take forum.

Cheers,

Judy

Hi,

Just as I thought with the vague description.

I am pretty certain the now banned Captain has posted here previously with claims of greatness.

In that instance as we were looking for someone and I like to help my countrymen get a foot in the door I placed a call to Maritime NZ to check the validity of the qualifications claimed , this call and the helpful person I spoke to showed he did not posses the qualifications as claimed.

Bugger,

I thought bits of paper were to stop all this sort of crap.

If you've got one, keep it up to date. Looking back at my Yachtmasters ticket, I'm lucky they let me play in the modelyacht pond at all.

Ho-hum!

To prospective owners or charter guests researching a New Zealand captain named Brett Copley from Skipper Solutions, I am in receipt of several vulgar letters threatening litigation. Let this post be a warning to others. This guy is hot-headed and quickly becomes aggressive, as can be seen in his responses above. Our mods have already removed two posts with his profanities.
