It had to come to this - a seemingly alien work force taking the place of our regular, seasoned crew. They are not other planetary creatures, but a generation solidly coming into play as worker bees. The problems you are encountering with this Millennial generation (those born since 1982) are not yours alone. Industries around the world are faced with a new crop of employees who have inherent differences of opinion when it comes to work ethic. Maybe you should play that instructional CD that came with your new deckie and stew! The Millennials are not prepared for the realities of hard work. We (us Boomers) grew up making mistakes, sometimes being punished for them, but always learning from these blunders. So, how do we deal?
Growing up in an unprecedented technological age, the Millennials have talents we never heard of. Consider the environment that created the Millennial Generation. These young adults are not going to settle for a while – taking their time to grow up. Pro Captains & Crew. Captains USCG / RYA License or insurability required Responsibilities are : * Management of Yacht * * Navigation and Operation * A captain's job description is multi - faceted and dynamic. One day he or she may be at the helm piloting the yacht to a safe anchorage; the next in charge of a multi million dollar refit with 20 or more people scurrying about, organized into various jobs amidst the chaos.
Practical Experience - Actual time spent at sea in a position of authority. Licenses - A professional captain must have proper licensing and documentation for the size of the vessel in his or her command. Personnel Management - This can be the most difficult skill of all and mastering it starts from hiring the best crew. Public Relations - A captain's ability to interact socially and professionally with the owners of the yacht is vital. Accounting, Budget, and Inventory - The captain must be above reproach when it comes to handling the owners funds. Engineer Engineer Qualifications Chefs / Cooks.

Overview This chapter explains all the principles of navigation on a 'blank chart'. (There is a separate chapter which goes into what is printed on the chart - not necessary at this stage). The following topics are covered: a) Position. How it is defined: latitude and longitude. How you plot your position on a chart, and devices that give you your position in latitude and longitude. b) Distance and speed. C) Direction. D) How to navigate. E) How to fix your position. F) Position lines and the three bearing fix. G) Glossary of navigational terms. Introduction Navigation is the process of finding your way from one place to another.
On land this has become pretty easy, because you can follow roads, and signs are provided to guide you. Generally these techniques are fairly simple and common sense, but we don’t use them in every day life, so there are a few new concepts to learn. This chapter explains the principles of navigation. Calling All Oil Sheiks: Here's the $160 Million Floating Island of Your Dreams.
Wally--a company that makes stunning modern yachts--and the French fashion house Hermes have teamed up to design a new boat: The appropriately named WHY, a full-blown solar-powered island. Just unveiled at the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show (of course), the WHY is 190 feet long and a whopping 125 feet wide--making it a dream for any billionaire who can't find enough space off land for his phalanx of Cristal-swigging bikini babes. In all, the boat has the square footage of a mansion--some 34,000 square feet. As Wally's president, Luca Bassani Antivari, explained it to The Guardian: Everybody's dream is to live on an island, in complete freedom, without constraint, with the independence that only self sufficiency can provide. A piece of land with a beautiful villa partly fulfils this aspiration because it is static. A yacht offers the freedom to move, but does not have the space of a property. Right you are!

Bluespace / George Hawthorne. Tofi - Yacht by Hyun-Seok Kim. Useful Yacht A winner of the 2011 “Dreamboat” Millennium Yacht Design Award, this brave interpretation of the motor boat concept by designer Hyun-Seok Kim was inspired by all of the natural beauty and fun activities found at sea. Tofi’s unconventional shape and unique furnishings compliment it’s far-out exterior and spaceship aesthetic, stimulating the imagination on board, while features like the hide-away diving board and safety buoy system promote fun in the water. Designer: Hyun-Seok Kim. Anthropomorphic + Futuristic = Fantastic Floating Homes.
Futuristic, yet, but not the far-fetched science-fiction fantasy industrial design you might think – the Oculus by Schoepfer Yachts may not be for sale yet but it is already in pre-production mode with naval architects on board, so to speak. Hardly your typical houseboat, it is a virtual cruise ship for the rich and famous who can afford to buy it when it is fully planned and built. The anthropomorphism of this luxury floating home is of course intentional – the front deck like the gaping mouth of a gigantic sea creature and the sleek curves mimicking streamlined oceanic animals. Complete with a swimming pool on top and a futuristic interior design this is far more like a permanent mobile home than a cruising yacht. The smaller and simpler (both adjectives applied relative to its bigger brother of course) version of this spectacular design is the Infinitas, with a more sleek and streamlined profile and a semi-enclosed on-board swimming pool in the center but underneath the shell.
