T-StarMET
Previously responsible for Master and Chief Mate unlimited training in a large college in the UK. I quickly became aware that only 0.8% of deck officers were female. This level was clearly unsustainable, to ignore half the population in any environment will cause stress on any system.
The super yacht industry offers a huge opportunity to improve the situation in this sector. I have tried to encourage all women going to sea to consider it as a career with progression to Master or Chief Engineer and not just a short term job.

Female officers are ALWAYS highly motivated and tend to be high achievers. I have found them to be a joy to teach. I am aware of some barriers to promotion but also that these are being torn down as the professionalism and the reliability of female officers becomes appreciated.
