No evidence of notability. Worthy of a sentence in the Royal Yacht Association article and nothing more. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:07, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is clearly notable: several hundred references in Google books for "Compentent Crew" RYA. And it is widely taught, and important even outside the UK. The same arguments apply to other RYA qualifications, some currently redlinked in the article, but Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster exist. What's needed is for these various qualifications and courses to be a bit more unified and interlinked, especially from the RYA page. I could imagine a List of sailing certifications page, or even a navbox that could do this. Mcewan (talk) 10:26, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
