Azhar received recognition as an
offshore yachtmaster which enables him to captain pleasure yachts overseas. The
certificate was presented to him by AYS Yachtmaster examiner Captain Marty
Rijkuris. Azhar said anyone in Malaysia could take his own boat to sea without
any certificate of competency from a governing body. The certification scheme is a good move
but it will take some time for Malaysian authorities to review and make it a
law for yachtsman"Azhar's 'attempt to sail round the
world covering over 21,600 nautical miles automatically qualifies him to receive
the AYS Offshore Yachtmaster Certificate which is also the highest order in the
scheme.Apart from the certification, Azhar
will negotiate with the Awana Porto Malai Resort management to maintain the
Jalur Gemilang shorebase. "
