know that people of France one a different regimentation that us to Canada,
it is why if you answer me, to Specify from where you come.
the most precise soyer that possible and if you have the model of experience
that happened to you and of the something that you had not thought and that
finally you had need in court of voyage.





I let you my e-mail if you have documents that you want to appear to me

That would be quite a sail down the St. Lawrence, past PEI, through the
Strait of Canso and east to Saint-Pierre.

Actually... it might be shorter for you to stay north of PEIi and Cape
Breton Island while heading East.

My message is for the Documents to make a circumnavigation not for a place
to go!
:-) Thank you for your answer

At a minimum you will need vessel documentation/registration papers, a
copy of your insurance policy, radio licenses, passports for all crew,
and possibly dinghy registration. Depending on country you may also
need clearance in/out paperwork and possibly visas.

If you have pets aboard you will need medical records for
innoculations, etc.

The only documents officials wanted to see in all the Central American
countries (Mexico/El Salvador/Costa Rica/Guatemala) we visited we

- crew passports
- boat registration
(we had a Canadian license, for vessels 15 Gross Tons)

In Europe, particularly Mediterranean countries, you will be
asked for proof of third party insurance (there is a
standard 'blue form') and a certificate of competence, in
addition to the above.

Carry lots of copies of all the documents previously mentioned. A lot
of places will want a copy but not have a copier. Also, make up a
rubber stamp with your ship's name and documentation number with red
ink. For some reason, lots of places like that and it makes stuff
"official". Nice to stamp your books, charts, logs, etc. with too.

What is the procedure for obtaining a "certificate of competence", please ?

It depends on your nationality and whatever sailing
certificate is valid in your country, something that shows
you have been examined for sailing competence. In other
words, you should have a document issued by the country of
your passport when you arrive at a foreign port of entry.

The European German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria and
Switzerland) have quite a rigorous skipper's certification
requiring a certain number of sea miles to qualify, as well
as examinations. But in my experience, the entry procedures
of some of the European countries accept most any sort of
official-looking document that states that the bearer has
passed some sort of sailing test.

Others state that they require it in their regulations but
don't even ask to see it.

Countries where no formal certificate is necessary to go to
sea in non-commercial command of a pleasure vessel, may have
a simple certificate to enable skippers to cruise abroad -
the UK has the ICC (International Certificate of
Competence), which is not difficult to obtain, unlike the
Yachtmaster certificate that is. Both are accepted in all
countries.

In Croatia they ask for it but if the skipper doesn't have
one then the harbourmaster is tasked to issue one after a
test - for a fee, which is what they are really interested in.

Hope this helps. BrianH.

"world cruising handbook" by jimmy cornell is a good book for this.
it's isbn number is 0-07-137610-0. in that book countries are listed
by region and each country has a description of the country (as it
relates to cruisers), basic country profile, stats about the countries
like public holidays and that kind of thing ... then it has entry
regulations like port of entry, procedures on arrival, customs,
immigration, what fees are involved, etc. it has what shots
(vaccinations) you have to have to get in the country, and it also has
what facilities each country has and that kind of thing, and just
general notes of interest to cruisers. i really enjoy reading this
book, and i usually have another jimmy cornell book "world cruising
routes" nearby also.
