check paragraph 5.

 

[align=left]4 *Due to the number of people who must still get their Category R (inland waters) skippers’[/align]
[align=left]licenses, SAMSA decided to implement a window period for compliance. Therefore, skippers of[/align]
[align=left]pleasure vessels must be in possession of CoC issued by SAMSA by 1 March 2009.[/align]
[align=left]5 Pleasure vessels are required by the Regulations to have CoF by 8 August 2008. However, a[/align]
[align=left]window period for compliance is granted by SAMSA until 1 March 2009.[/align]

No ways!

Only a SAPS person or a person qualified as a Peace Officer has the legal right to check on your inland skippers ticket!!!

NO resort owner may refuse you access to the water when you have paid your entry fee.

No comp organiser may refuse you entry or try and enforce skippers licence!!

DO NOT BE BULIED BY EGOISTS!

hI.

You can do it on your own. Nuy the book for R35, learn it. Then pay R180 to write the exam at the NSRI.

 

Pm me your email address and I'll send all the info!

I got my Skipper license, so don't think its a walk in the park to pass, it actually very difficult, and the stuff you learn is really good to know.

Allow me to disagree Tilapia. Most resorts have a sign that says "Right of admission reserved"

That little board gives them the right to throw you off their property for any reason they like. Secondly, if they request your skippers ticket, and you refuse to produce it, they cannot force you to do it, but they can notify the police, which might, or might not come out to force you to show it, and then fine/arrest you if you cannot produce it.

Be careful of the advise you give on an online forum. Also, being harregat about the skippers ticket will get you nowhere. If you have a boat, you need to comply to the laws that govern it. It only makes for safer waters.

i agree with you on that loams... but what bugs me is i don't mind paying for the skippers but what is that money going to be used for... what i want to see are people enforcing the law and actually checking your boat...
