ICC now available to Canadians

The International Certificate of Competence, issued by the RYA (Britain) and available to those who pass their Day Skipper exam, is recognized by many charter firms in Europe and elsewhere as a marine "operator licence". In the past, it has only been available to British citizens, but a recent change means that the ICC is now available to Canadian and American sailors who already have a Day Skipper (Practical) certificate.
