Because it is young and has an international perspective, IYT is different from RYA's many limitations, and the positioning of the international style makes IYT more open. Because it has a complete training system like rya and allows translation into other national languages, there are currently courses in Arabic, French, Spanish and Russian in addition to English. It can also be said that iyt does not belong to a certain country, but belongs to the world.
