Y-LEGACY-L1.1

The legacy 'Y' engineering certificates

Before the modern small-vessel engineering scheme, yacht engineers held a series of 'Y' certificates, and holders of them still work in the industry today. This lesson explains what those certificates were and how the ladder was structured.

Y-LEGACY-L1.2

How the Y grades related to tonnage and power

The Y grades were distinguished mainly by the size of vessel and the engine power they authorised, and by the level of responsibility. This lesson explains that structure and how to read any engineering grade.
