Yes that's a possibility I suppose. But knowing my luck I'd be the one stopped mid channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Cherbourg would be the sensible place, then straight round the Isle of Wight. 5-6 hr trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordmac Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Something I remember from the YBW discussions, I don't do remember well though! Interesting boat, Rodman like but without the Rodman price. Is 260hp enough for a boat that size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it must be seeing as it was fitted with that engine from new. It has just had a brand new outdrive with duoprop fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Right Fishy, the answer to your question........ The Recreational Craft Regulations 2004 were revoked on 3 August 2017 but continue to apply to relevant products placed on the market or put into service prior to this date. Source:https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/recreational-craft-regulations-2017 So what that means for you is, as long as the boat conformed to the EU directive of 2004, then it's good to go, or, good to come.... What you do need to ensure is that it is CE plated and has the conformity certificates with it. You are then covered. Hope that helps clarify the issue for you Edited November 19, 2021 by suzook12 Geoff, mick and jonnyswamp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that also covers it. Do make sure the boat is plated and compliance certificate is supplied, that way you can prove your case if necessary. Get a copy of the relevant sections of law you are relying on as well..... That way, all bases are covered Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was new yes, at the time of manufacture it would have required a CE mark to be sold on the UK market and the compliance at that time was RCD 1, which is still valid or that year of boat....

Now the question @Gordmac posed is eating away at my brain. Sorry about that! No great expert but outdrives seem to be used on relatively quick planing boats whereas shafts are on slower or semi displacement boats with lower power outputs. If you are looking at say about20kn cruise tops is an outdrive the best option? Outdrives are more efficient however so should give a bit more speed for a given power. What sort of power does a similar sized say Rodman have? Other thing to consider, is it a low deadrise boat? That would give more speed for a given power at the expense of slamming in a sea.

One that you can sleep on, cook on, have a shit and watch TV. Trouble is it's too expensive for Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
