Yacht Consultancy This is a broad subject and could include advice on any yacht related topic from commercial coding; staffing & yacht management; racing yacht optimisation, preparation & coaching; sail wardrobe planning, purchasing & rig set up etc... As each topic area is large, they have their own web pages to describe more about each subject and the services I offer however it mustn't be forgotten that subjects overlap and every possible idea cannot be described here. Every yacht and every campaign (racing or cruising) is different and so ideas are developed as work & discussions progress. MCA Coding for Commercial Vessels
