Dear Mr Schwarz,
Thank you for your email. Before you proceed with any legal action, it is essential that you (1) _______________ certain facts into account with regard to yacht chartering.
It is a standard requirement that at least one member of the crew should (2) _______________ a recognised yacht master’s licence. (3) _______________ you been able to produce such a document, it would not have been necessary for the boat owner to hire a skipper. Your frustration at not being told that this would involve you paying an extra fee is understandable. Be that as it (4) _______________ , this information is clearly stated in the Charter Party contract, which you had already signed. In legal terms, therefore, (5) _______________ it to say, it was your responsibility to read this before signing.
Since the contract is legally binding, (6) _______________ you to take matters further, I fear the outcome would be unfavourable. For this reason, I strongly recommend that you (7) _______________ your decision. (8) _______________ you wish to contact me, I would be happy to discuss an alternative solution.
Yours sincerely,
Helena Vickers
