Just returned from Denmark having found my dream boat. She has an excellent survey report. Problem is I've spent nearly everything and have to bring her back to S.coast shortly.
Spent 30 years sailing S Coast and N. France and have Yachtmaster. trouble is I can't help feeling I'm going to Mars.
Could I please submit the following questions:
Do I need an ICC for the Kiel Canal?
Do Germans inspect/impound yachts for lack of equipment/correct documentation. I will have SSR, Insurance passports VHF operators cert, but no ships radio licence does this matter?
Boat was made in UK 1995 and sold to Dane in 2001. Do I need VAT docs?
Are handheld VHFs allowed? do I need cert?
Imray C Charts seem recommended. I have CA Handbook but seem to be lacking overall N Sea Pilot to help passage plan. Any recommendations please?
I have yet to peruse charts but would like to go direct from Kiel canal to UK (Harwich looks good?)weather permitting. Aware of shipping lanes and oil rigs. Any recommended routes?
Many thanks
