Yes but the coding is for the vessel so if cat 3 within 20 miles, having a commercially endordsed YM ticket doesn't mean you can take it 60 miles out. The coding is for the vessel its self. And yes if the vessel is being used commercially the vessel should be skippered with a person with the...

Skippers ticket doesn't come into it as the MCA coding is more to do with the sea worthiness of the boat. This is more of an issue for work boats. John

My 2003 t was laid up for nearly 5 years. It had been laid up by a Volvo Tech and readied for use by the same people and started on the first push of the button. It has run with no problems for the last 4 years. Its a bit smokey when first started but I am told that this is normal for these...
