You will need an ICC, but your PB2 will only allow it up to 10 metres. Be careful, the Spanish can be very funny regards documentation. You should have an ICC up to 24 metres. As suggested, get some tuition.

Re: Magnum RIP This news has just reached me. I don’t frequent the forum much these days, but hearing this news has bought me back. I was involved with Mark and Claire when they were buying their Cougar rib and took them on sea trials. It just goes to show that life is not a rehearsal and he...

You can do an ICC asessment on your own boat. You can see what is involved by dienloading the ICC application form off the RYA website. On another point, the ICC is valid for 5 years. You dont retake anything just submit a new picture and pay up if you are not an RYA member.

I went a fair old distance in her as well!:cool:
