Ok, just in case I peeked anyone elses interest, I got the answer... after talking to my CPA and him doing some extensive research it appears that even though the RYA is associated with the MCA, which one would think would be recognized by the US as a legit maritime body, since it is not recognized by the US Department of Education, which many UK Colleges/Universities are, it is not useable as a tax write off for education/vocational training even though it leads to commercial endorsement.... talk about stupid... that would have been NICE tax write off.
