Re: Phillip Ivo Clarke
Ellerslie.
To whom it may
concern.
Having sailed with Phillip over a 48 hour period on the charter vessel “Island star” a 45ft catamaran, I have found him more than competent in the areas such as coastal navigation, night sailing, ship handling, manoeuvring, seamanship and anchoring.
I have issued Phillip with an Island Rover Charters
day skipper’s certificate that allows him to charter any one of our vessels
without a skipper.
Phillip came across as confident but cautious, making
safety his first priority.
He is very easy going with a sense of humour and a
gourmet menu to please any appetite.
I have no reservations about recommending Phillip to
any prospective charter operator, employer, or any skipper for coastal or
offshore crewing positions and wish him well in his future endeavours.
Yours faithfully,
Darren Richards,
Commercial Launchmaster,
Island Rover Charters.
