personality traits and diplomacy required to operate successfully in this arena.
Next to present was Mike Schwarz, who gave a thought provoking presentation, drawing from his experience of many years on how to be successful in business. John Sharland, Tritex NDT, had called in that morning to send his apologies for absence due to a mishap. But a video of John explaining how ultrasonic testing works, recorded earlier this year, was shown instead.
Graham Watts brought the morning session to an end when he spoke in depth about the Boat Safety Scheme, why it exists and how it is policed. He

showed a selection of thought provoking images of some of the catastrophes that have occurred on the inland waterways. After lunch, Paul Winter took to the speaker’s podium. As in Scotland the previous week, he spoke about the various types of insurances - not just PI insurance - that a surveyor should consider in the course of conducting his business. In the second part of his presentation, Paul gave some case histories coupled with photographs to explain the nature of each claim and in some cases how it could have been prevented.

The final presentation of the daywas a highly interactive one, delivered by Tim Bannister from AkzoNobel. IIMS and AkzoNobel work closely together on the Registered Marine Coatings Inspectors programme for the inspection standard for superyacht coatings. After a short formal presentation introducing the audience to the different types of coatings testing equipment, delegates gathered round a test panel and had a play with the kit, including the incredible Wavescan machine, valued at a cool £25,000! All in all a fascinating presentation and Tim brought to an end what had been an absorbing and highly educational day, much appreciated by those who attended.
