A massive and mighty BRAVO ZULU to our Rovers and Ventures who competed in the Master Mariner Competition yesterday!
A huge syllabus of nautical skills examined by industry experts, professional mariners and experienced Sea Scouters.
We are very impressed and very proud of our Master Mariner candidates who on average attained an 80% finish score.
It’s been often said the Master Mariner result is akin to a 2nd Mates ticket so it’s a credit to all who entered.
This resulted in Malahide Sea Scouts taking home every medal-place at the event!
Congratulations to all candidates and say hello to Scouting Irelands new Master Mariners;
Dan Clohessy (Ventures) and Jordan Killen (Rovers)!

Big thanks for our hosts 1st Port of Dublin Sea Scouts – Ringsend for organising an excellent day of competition at Dublin Port.
We were very impressed at the level of nautical skills shown by all competitors!
By the end there were only single-digit points between the top candidates so an absolute credit to their skills and time put into their seamanship training.
The two core-modules examined this year were Ropework and Meteorology.
