We are intending to cruise various other EU waters from next month onwards and, rather belatedly I know, we have been sifting through all our 110 paperwork to ensure it is in order (especially as we are aware that bureaucracy has been on the increase in some areas, notably in the Med) thus preventing rather than having to cure after the event!
Our Declaration of Conformity, normally located in your owners manual somewhere towards the rear (probably in the appendices) and listing all the relevant ISO/standards of comformity, appears to be signed and dated in 2002 by the company MD from then, rather than by the actual MD in situ on our vessel's launch date some years later.
Do you have yours there? And, if so, are you able to offer the details of who signed and when and whether this ties in with your vessel's launch date?
We are possibly worrying about this detail unnecessarily but, not wanting to fall foul of some EU jobsworth, we thought we'd try and check this out with a few other Southerly owners first to help us get our facts straight prior to contacting Northshore and appearing prize chumps.
