I very much doubt that the "winning side"actually won in this particular instance.Just to be clear, I did (and always do) vote - I just wasn't on the winning side!

Thanks but there's lots I don't know and get confused by conflicting information so, try to contact authorities for answer. Typical case is some information in the January 2019 document you quote above -
In light of Brexit, the British Ambassador to Portugal has been attending a series of 'surgeries' around the country talking to British overseas residents about the possible outcomes of the UK leaving the EU. She stressed that all British citizens should make sure that their authorizations for residency, passports and other documentation is up to date and in order. Residents will retain their current EU rights in their host country, but under the latest 'Withdrawal Agreement', they will lose the right of free movement, including travel within the Schengen area for longer than 90 days in every 180.
This is the opposite of what Europe Direct were told by Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers (DG JUST) in March 2020 - Residence permit holders are not limited to the maximum period of stay of 90/180 days within the Schengen area .
Your guess is good as mine as to who is correct.![]()
And if you don't broadcast AIS, so then what?
Yes and they can pry my radio silence out of my cold, dead fingers.Maybe I'm way behind the times ........... but how many actually broadcast AIS ? I would think the situation is still majority only Rx on a yacht ? I accept that more people are installing Tx Rx sets ... but ??
I am sure broadcasting AIS will become required at t some point. it already is in some parts of the world.
Required for who, and enforced how exactly?I am sure broadcasting AIS will become required at t some point. it already is in some parts of the world.
Spot on.Please - I'm very interested to know which parts of the world require a private yacht to broadcast AIS.
As to being required in future ? I very much doubt it as even today NOWHERE in the world are you required to have a VHF radio on a private yacht !! Nowhere that I have ever heard of anyway.

Screw informing the world's Stasi and gutter press of my position and 'status'.
AIS will never be transmitted from Marihøna, John Atkin would be spinning in his grave!
Every herring must hang by his own tail.
'They' can't force you..our species has been seafaring for some 60,000 years!I would actually install a Tx / Rx AIS station but as I do not cruise as much as some ... and I have limited power on board ... I shall resist the urge to splurge till someone forces me to install.
I do have passive Rx AIS ... and that is enough for me TBH ...
Come to Portugal portaria nº 1464/2002 - pleasure craft required to have VHFPlease - I'm very interested to know which parts of the world require a private yacht to broadcast AIS.

In the example above, the ambassador was responding to all Brits in Portugal. The majority of which are either permanent residents or ‘commute’ between Portugal and the UK. Whereas DG JUST was responding to travel within the Schengen Zone. A slightly different take on this issue, which supports the observation, the question you ask could colour the answer you get.
Just to help me and maybe others who consider venturing to Portuguese waters etc. : Can you pinpoint the section specific to VHF installation for Portugal - I assume its if you want to register a yacht in Portugal ?
OK ... that's first example I have heard of. Things change and we need to keep informed, so this is one of those snippets that adds to the pot.
Edit : I've tried to go tyhrough your reference but cannot find the part that says VHF must be installed ... Other sites also I cannot find any stating VHF must be installed ... but all say VHf Licence must be valid for an installation / operator.

List here but add life jackets available in tenders for everyone on board, €250 per person fine if not there but never heard of anyone being nailed, we were just warned. Safety Standards - Lagos Navigators
The equipment rules also apply to foreign flagged vessels there >6 months.
I'll take a reservation on that link as it says requirements as per RORC ... still not satating Law / Regulations.
I agree it 'implies' that ...... I'll take it as advised based on the link I put where it says If Fitted - the actual Portuguese MAR guide I used.
