Correct but that is only the operator which is covered to transmit on marine frequencies (and crew members under supervision). I fully understand about it being capable of being modified to be opened up for marine frequencies BUT once modified, it then falls into the category of non compliance...

Pm'ed you. .

Are you saying you have not seen your dinghy since BEFORE Christmas 2011 ? That is a full 23 months ago ! :O .

I have been known to send wx reports to yachts on passage on all three oceans. What is the name of your yacht, PM me if necessary ? .

I sincerely doubt gypsies, more like the storm Sunday night and a yacht from the Hardway SC or the Gosport Boatyard trots broke her moorings and sallied forth northwards. :( .
