Steve Pope 243 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Shouldn't Dr Dave be advertising in the Classifieds?? At $350.00 p.p. it is surely a commercial venture. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Shouldn't Dr Dave be advertising in the Classifieds?? At $350.00 p.p. it is surely a commercial venture. Considering he's based in Queensland, and is doing this on a voluntary basis to assist in upskilling yachties who want to be upskilled, then no. Flights across the Tasman require dollars. This isn't his daytime job, i.e. he doesn't run a boating training business. His daytime job is Director of Intensive Care for Central Queensland Health. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 96 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Further, if it's the same as last years one then any residual $$ is given to charity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Dave 5 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thank you Razz, Fish and others for your support. Steve Pope as to your comments - ".. it is surely a commercial venture." Actually -you are quite wrong. I do this to help NZ yachties and do NOT get paid to do so. I do it because I enjoy it, because I was asked to do it and I want to give something back to yachting. It also enables all of the volunteers (there are many of us - Sally, Bek, Jenny, Angus and I) to donate money to a yachting charity. All of the profits are donated to charity. I was paid to rewrite the YNZ Medical requirements - I donated this money to Youth Sailing. Profits from the first "Dr Dave course" - were donated to Cyclone relief in Fiji All of the other course profits were donated to Disabled sailing. Firstly we outfitted a boat for a disabled race officer to help her get in and out of the boat. Last years profits are going to buy Defibrillators for patrol boats and the RAYC for cardiac arrests. We are also putting money towards building a yacht to teach disabled sailors how to sail I suggest prior to making ill-informed comments - you find out the facts Dr Dave 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
