I earned my BIMBO card as Pin Boat Captain - sunfish worlds - Charleston - 99 boats on the start, heavy current. SR BIMBO office (GATE BOAT) motored over to check my setting after two difficult starts - I got thumbs up. Granted, I was not happy with the line for the duration of the event, a 10 degree adjustment for current, but still very lonely at the pin. (Pin was just outside the channel).

Prior to taking the US Sailing course, I was not confident driving a motorboat, and docking was a nightmare. The instructor (Dick Alsopp)
spent alot of additional time teaching me how to throttle down, as he wasn't going to pass me if I couldn't control the throttle. Now, I have no concerns about driving an RC boat such as would be used on a lake , granted starting a boat is still a challenge - darn engines - lack of Y chromozone. Also, I don't have alot of ocean, waves, big boat driving experience.
