Winter creeps on in the UK but here in New Zealand we start the summer and so thoughts turn to the great outdoors and what could be, rather than what should have been.
So with a renewed vigour I am going to be pushing for the Pico option this year. This is based around limited funds (whole project to be completed for less than NZ$2000 - $1000 Boat and $1000 refit and kit buying) and simply scaling back to weekend and evening cruising in a Dinghy, something Mirror-esk would be great.
This means that putting the Dinghy to one side I need to look at simpler ways of sailing and what I would be doing for an overnight as well as accommodating our 6 year old, should he want to venture out with his old dad!
So, I may as well keep current and so I was looking at ways of complying with the NZ 'rules of the road' and I happened to find eNautical. They offer the Maritime Restricted Operators Certificate (MROC) on-line (no exam, this is purchase separately for those that need it) for a remarkable NZ$59! For this you receive all your material and course-ware.
As the site says

So if this is of interest perhaps an offering on the other side of the world can help!?
