I live in Queensland. I haven't read the regulations for years, but isn't

Used to be the case but no longer


I was until now unaware that I needed one to operate my 10m sailboat. Are
you sure of this?

Our local yacht club highlighted this about 2 years ago so that everyone could go through the older simpler system before the change.
