But it's a BOAT safety certificate not a PEOPLE safety certificate, it was never about keeping people out of the water just about keeping them off a burning boat, the BSS don't care if the boat is sinking as long as it won't burn on the way down.
You can have more people than berths, you have just ruled out lifejackets on a dayboat, it really isn't that simple.
-
BSS is not interested in people falling overboard, it's generally about boats not catching fire or exploding as that was the biggest cause of casualties back in the day, drownings are still fairly rare, you are more likely to suffer a crush injury while mooring.

why get on a boat with him?
I'm sure there's been times when I wouldn't have got onto a boat with me but luckily I was too drunk to know better so did anyway.
Inland and river speed is a different thing entirely to high speed and sea while drunk.

£20,000 is a lot of money as well.
Wait till his friend sues him for damages for life changing injuries.

In the same circumstances I'm sure they would, I believe the sentence was suspended.

We only have our own on board, we have a spare at home for when we used to take my mum out but only worried about it if we were going to sea and then would only wear them if going on deck, we rarely use them on rivers anyway except in the dinghy and that's not a certainty.

Maybe we need to put more effort into upsetting Griff!

And of course the sheets of mat to put in between the crockery to stop it all rattling in tune with the grill pan when idling....
When we did the deal with snowbird the previous owner was going to clear the boat into a skip, we said leave it and we'll see what's not useful, glad we did as it would probably be a right PITA trying to find crockery that fitted the built in stowage spots, luckily he did take the ginger wig (although if he hadn't I would have worn it into a couple of pubs by now
).

Sorry its just a builder said the same thing about a house we bought live in it for a while then it will tell you what to do to it.
I really do apologise as the intension was not to upset you or anyone else.
Kindest Regards Marge and Parge
I doubt you've upset anyone, you said the same as I did earlier in the thread (or was it a different one?) But making fitted things work is not the same as major changes, major changes are very much worth waiting a season for.

It's the idiots version of a pic, picaxe is an educational setup that uses a language similar to basic for small children and idiots like me.

Mine have 2 speeds options on the motor the rest is down to a home made controller, they need to be self parking motors to do that though.
I also have a washer switch that does one side at a time and gives a single wipe when the switch is released, it's a mom-off-mom switch, great for salt spray that always seems to get one side or the other.
The controller.

Mine are vetus and not that noisy, mind you mine are usually only on low intermittent, I suppose when it's worth using full on the rain likely drowns them out anyway.
-
What type of wiper motors are they?
-
You may need a couple of chunky diodes to seperate wiper motors depending on type if on one switch, a lot of the self parking ones can get out of synch and one will cross feed to the other and keep them going when you turn them off.
I used alternator diodes in line to mine and they work fine but I have intermittent settings, it's not often it rains hard enough to need wipers permanently on at river speeds.

If redoing switches I had some surrounds done fairly cheaply from drawing via fleabay.

Smogggy. A wonderful solution. Do you often go boating?
When I can, not now till easter as someone else has my boat to refurb the windows, but come spring (and windows) hopefully every couple of weeks.
Do I need a stairlft fitting?

"Zimmerboats" would likely be a viable business plan.

If you read this Richard your tap fitting is under your canopy side, spotted you moored at church fen but not on board.
Cheers for the loan.

I'm sure the bylaws already cover it but without a set level.
