I've been operating pleasure boats in CT on and off for over 30 years, first as a NY resident, now FL. As far as I'm concerned I am grandfathered but who knows. Let's set up a test case, might be fun. You can turn me in next summer for failure to have a certificate. Sure. Sounds like fun. Let me know when you have exceeded the time limit, and where they can find you. The Courant will want to do a four part series on your trial, I'm sure! For the record, you are not grandfathered in. I was when they first instituted the Safe Boatuing Certificate, but they phased that out early on. If you read the CT Safe Boating Guide booklet as prep, you could probably just take the test at DEP headquarters and skip the classroom time. Mostly enforcenment happens when you are busted for something else and they discover you don't have the cert. I don't think the CG will even write you up for it. You have to get popped by local law enforcement, or DEP. |
