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.
