As part of the course the group developed a marina scheme for Clontarf Yacht and Boat Club.
By basing the course in Ireland delegates were able to experience at first hand Irish facilities, some for the first time. Sarah Dhandar, Director of Training at the BMF expressed her delight at the venue, "superb facilities, conveniently close by".
