Boat names registry site

[Gludy]

I have lost the link to the web site where I can check the names of registered part 1 boats.
Can anyone help with what it is please?

there is only the ITU site which has been given, but if you phone the nice lady at the Ships Registry they will tell you a chosen name is already in use or not. They wont reserve it for you though, so you have to take a gamble that when you submit your registration forms, nobody else has bagsied it in the meantime.

So why are there two Beleza's registered in gb? I can see another two with of xxxxx after the name another 7 registered in different countries.

Now I'm not sure the name has to be unique, or 'of xxxx'

It's a marine radio registry site, so no, name doesn't have to be unique, nor on ships registry

The name doesn't have to be unique for SSR or Part 3 registered boats, but having just been through the rigmarole of changing names for a Part 1 registered boat I can confirm that Part 1 is unique names only.

That's why you get the "Artemis of Poole" vs "Artemis of Southampton" etc, as the boat's name is thus distinct from simply Artemis registered at Poole. As well as the full name it then has to have the name of the port too even if that happens to be the same as the "of xxxx" bit of your boat name.

I'm quite aware of that, but the link in question is the ITU Mars database. A British vessel can have a unique name on Part 1, and yet there can still be non registered boats with radio licences in the UK with the same name, and so the name can appear on the ITU for the UK multiple times. It's been discussed on here over and over again, but people still seemed to get confused

Brendan, I didn't wish to seem to be correcting you - just clarifying what you had said from personal experience. I'm aware that some topics do seem to crop up again and again, but that is the nature of forums of all types - not just boaty ones. As there is a wide mixture of old and new members the same topics will tend to need to be rehashed regularly. If you start saying that you can't discuss some topics because they've been covered before you run the risk of discouraging new members from posting in case they tread on the toes of older members. Also as the search facility on the forum is so poor people are bound to post again, and again, and again.......

spot on, Straker.

Also OP was not asking for ITU link - he was asking for Pt 1 Registry contact.

Anyway who cares how many times it comes round ? Anyone care for an anchor or Fin Keel vs Bilge Keel thread ?
