“This past week Monday, 6th September until 10th September, we had 4 candidates, [3 local Bermudians,] take part in the 5-day course run at one of our Royal Yachting Association Accredited [RYA] recognised training centres.
“This course was run by an RYA Windsurfing Trainer and moderated at the end, by an independent RYA Windsurfing trainer.
