a couple of months ago legislation was passed tgst now means from today that PWC are now subject to same rules and regulations as boats/yachts. So basically PWC are now subject to the Col Regs that everyone else have to. 
 

Hopefully a good move to keep everyone safe

"The new law introduces a definition for watercraft which applies to any craft capable of moving under its own mechanical power." 

That means me too I suppose.

Suppose it would depend on the Harbour limits in force wherever you're afloat.

More likely to be my heart that limits my speed 😁

I can do 3-4kn all day long but just upping that to 5-6 is tiring, locally its 6kn until you pass the inner piers and then it's open it up and that's what the willy wavers do
