Sailing is usually considered a muscular job worldwide. Women usually are not interested in the job given its demanding nature, but an Iranian woman has become a successful sailor.<\/p>\n

\"\"Raheleh Tahmasebi Sarvestani is an Iranian seawoman who says is in love with sailing even though you rarely see a woman on a ship as a sailor.<\/p>\n

She has been elected as the Best Sailor of the Year (2016-2017) in Hormozgan Province in southern Iran.<\/p>\n

Raheleh is one of the few female sailors in the naval fleet of the Islamic Republic of Iran. She is one among all Iranian women who have attempted to overcome obstacles in their way to play their social role.<\/p>\n

In a Farsi interview with ISNA, Tahmasebi has talked about her love for sailing as well as her relentless efforts to overcome the obstacles in the way to win a job on a ship.<\/p>\n

Excerpts of her interview follow:<\/p>\n

Second Lieutenant of a Military Vessel<\/p>\n

Raheleh was born in 1984. She is now the second lieutenant of military vessels between 500 to 3000 tons. \u201cI passed my training courses on a commercial ship titled Saghar. Then I began to serve on another ship titled Hormuz Pishro and now I\u2019m preparing for a number of exams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raheleh went on saying that to become a captain, she has to undergo various training courses which may take at least 16 years. \u201cWe have to begin our carrier as a sailor. After undergoing several training courses from first to third Lieutenant, we enter a new phase with special courses for becoming a captain. Then we need to pass several other courses. In each course, the applicants must pass special trainings.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Love with Demanding Job<\/p>\n

On her reasons to choose sailing as her job, the Iranian seawoman said, \u201cI\u2019ve always been looking for a special job for which I was ready to pay a price. First, I began to conduct some researches on the job conditions of flight attendants. Then I heard of a training course for sailing which was going to be held in the southern province of Hormozgan and decided to attend the course.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving passed the course, I began to realize that I\u2019m capable enough to take the demanding job. It made me more determined to go ahead with my decision. The job has its own problems and few women apply for this job because most people are not capable of taking it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feeling Pleased as a Successful Woman<\/p>\n

Raheleh said she is proud of herself as a successful woman in the sailing industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure that I can take the job and there is a long distance ahead. One of the main reasons behind my success in this field is my love for sea and my strong will to go ahead with my decision. I believe a lover can\u2019t forget her love under any conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raheleh said the Iranian women can enter the sailing industry after passing the university exam or undergoing special sailing courses in the licensed institutes. She added that the sailing is a hard and muscular job which requires undergoing hard courses, but women can pass the courses if they want. \/ IFP \/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
