Licence to hire speedboat in Greece/Spain

Most people who sail have experience of people in high powered motor boats who do not seem to know or abide by the IRPCS, and consequently put our lives and our boats in danger. We don't much like this sort of thing. Also, they create huge amounts of row, and often pass much too close making much too much wash, and we don't much like that either. Consequently, while I don't much like the idea of compulsory certificates of competence, I equally don't like the idea of ignorant cowboys in high-powered motor boats. If you know your colregs and basic navigation, you'll get through the exam without difficulty. If you don't, I don't much want you on the water in a powerful boat, with or without a certificate. If you don't want to get one, stick to hiring low-powered boats. HTH. HAND. -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; lovely alternative to rice. |
