Hello,
First time boat owner.
I am 25, I've not got a lot of money and I don't really know where to start with this.
I'm trying to register my boat to hopefully be able to finally escape the UK. The Gov website is asking me for way more information than I have, saying that the following documents are the bare minimum:
CSR Form 2
Certificate of incorporation
Builders certificate
Certificate of survey for tonnage and measurement
International tonnage certificate (ITC69)
UK Radio Licence
I have the bill of sail, maybe a CSR Form, and the radio license... My boat was built in 1978 and all workshops have closed down, where do I even start to look for a builders certificate? I have a two surveys but the weight wasn't ever taken. The thing already costs £159 how much am I going to have to spend on this
Surely this process can't be this difficult?
What is your experience with this? It's a "part 1" boat registry, as I want to be away from the UK for longer than 6 months. Has anyone just gone for the "part 2" and tried their luck?
I have the declaration of location and VAT proof of payment- this is the next thing and I'm not going to lie to you, I didn't budget for a tonnage survey or the buying of 3 certificates to get another bit of paper.
*Possibly Solved*
If you're having the same issue, I've been told you're normally able to skip the documentation upload page on the Part 3 Registration application. There either having some technical difficulties or something is broken.
