In a post well below, Laurence Monkhouse refers to the Boat Safety Certificate. This sounds a bit like an inspection process that we have for cars here in the US, but so far, not for boats (unless you are a commercial vessel carrying passengers). I’d love to know a bit more about this. Are all boats inspected and issued certificates? Is failure to procure and display this certificate grounds for being beached? When did this all come about? Presumably the rules take older vessels into account. Would this indeed have spelled doom for the D&G?

Unless I am very much mistaken, we have nothing similar here in the US (but perhaps in other parts of the country?). When I went to register my home-built outboard skiff, no-one asked to see the plans or review the boat. My insurance company was not even bothered and issued a policy based on solely on the promise that I’d send a photograph at some point.
