Boat length

[Ivaan]

What are the boat length limitations for 15nm restriction currently.

 

[willem wikkel spies]

none as far as I know.
its about having 2 engines which will grant you access beyond 5nm.

None , the only restriction on boat length is for a category "R" licence , witch is "you cannot operate a vessel longer than 9 metres"

Hi guys, in "A GUIDE TO CERTIFICATION OF COMPETENCY FOR SMALL TRAILER-BORNE POWERBOATS'category R skipper's manual under legal knowledge no 7, states "no vessel under 3 meters may go to sea except in a designated area to be controlled by a regulating authority, and NOT more than 1000 meters offshore".

Thanks for the reply, so a 4,8m boat can get 15nm rating?

 

[RUSSELL EVERITT]

Yes as long as you have 2 motors

 

[Guppigetta]

Two motors, all the safety equipment and a Cat C skippers certificate.
