There is a difference between certification and qualification.
FYI, most yachts of size are required to employ a full time, capable, LICENSED captain
If operating commercially and required by flag to have a minimum safe manning certificate. Neither condition applies to Watson’s commands, evidently. Adding the word “capable” also blows your argument out of the water. The yacht licensing scheme is a long way from assuring “capable” masters and judging by the number of accidents, injuries, and deaths attributed to poor operating practices on large commercial yachts, your faith in a piece of paper is as worthless as the paper itself.
Find some other reason to hate Watson and his group of fanatics but do yourself a favor and drop the paperwork angle … it just makes you (personally and collectively) look as rabid as they do.
How many crewmembers have been injured or killed on a vessel commanded by Watson in his 30 years of command?
How many have been injured or killed in the GofM or along the US coastlines on vessels commanded by certificated officers only recently? You want to see stupidity and ignorance at work, look at the CG accident reports for tugs and supply vessels.
