Bruge - legalities?

[ChattingLil]

any advice around on what is required if going inland to Bruge? Very confused about radios and whatnots.

We have short range vhf radio certificates and licenses, ICC, VAT proof (ish), small ships register, etc, but do we need to prep for anything else?

thanks in anticipation!

If you are just going up to the sailing club before the 1st canal lock in Brugge I don't think you need anything more than you do for Oostende.
We didn't last year.
No one asked for anything.

If you want to go on into the main canal system you would need to buy a vignette, most likely need you radio to have the ATIS system enabled and hold a ICC certificate endorsed for Inland Waters (having passed the CEVNI exam).

Another thing you will need if you want to make much progress through the canal system is

I tend to prefer the Flemish version of the name "Brugge". Altogether more masculine.
