He is a fully qualified yachtmaster and has a commercially endorsed RYA license to operate the Morag.

He has even more local knowledge, and is the man from whom the skipper acquires his stories. He has sailing the waters of the Kyles of Bute since the Second World War, knows exactly where every rock, eddy and current is and, most importantly, the best areas to fish. He also takes great pride in letting younger passengers steer the boat under his careful supervision.
