To Whom It May Concern:
Ref: Paul Clarke
Motor Yacht Queen K dates: 15
th
April 2009 to Present Day
This is to confirm that Paul Clarke has worked on board the Motor Yacht Queen K as Chief Engineer
between the above dates. Queen K is a busy yacht and during Paul’s time on board the vessel sailed
extensively throughout the Mediterranean in the summer and the Indian Ocean during the winter. Queen
K has also undergone extensive refit periods during this time.
Paul’s vast years of experience in similar roles on similar yachts was clear to see from the day he joined.
He is thorough and efficient in all aspects of his work. He could be regarded as an “old-school Chief
Engineer” in his hands on approach, and he always adapts an in-depth understanding of all systems.
His ship-specific knowledge was of the highest order and he always took a lead role from an early stage
in planning and executing the yacht’s refits.
Paul has now served over six years in the same position on Queen K and is ready to move onto pastures
new. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as Chief Engineer on any similar yacht and
certainly much larger vessels.
