They've eased up not under diplomatic pressure. As I said, they can
leave but with advice... As for LPG, the sniffer must have been broken
or had bad pipes. That would be a serious worry for me!

Here in NZ we have to get vessels inspected every 2 years for their
seaworthiness and without a CAT1 clearance the vessel is not allowed to
leave (if owned by a NZ resident).


Apparently applies to all vessels regardless of ownership.
A good friend of mine "escaped" NZ late at night after buying a boat
there taht was in exceptional condition but which had not been passed
because IIRC the LPG system was not up to code.
She was not allowed to leave without the whole lot being pulled out
and reinstalled by an expert.
She chose to run for it and when back in Oz had the system inspected
for insurance confirmation..passed OK.

I've seen several pictures of such explosions and that is
the main reason I will not have heavier than air gas on my
boat. Alcohol is more expensive but it is more safe and
safety is my prime consideration as it should be with
any sensible man.

Yes - or at least I think so.

I saw a large puff of smoke appear from a 35-40ft yacht a couple of years
ago. I assumed that it was a gas explosion.

You sure it wasn't Neal's boat? It may have been dust and cat hair.

It was probably an A4 starting up.
