Dinghy/Tender Registration

[ianc1200]

Anybody able to point me in the right direction?

Was there some talk of a reduced rate for tenders? I've searched the Thames Forum & can't find anything (perhaps wishful thinking).

Look at http://www.atyc.co.uk/

On the home page you will see:

The craft registration renewals are going out now and I just wanted to flag with you as ATYC that we are offering 50% off tenders in 2010 when they are registered at the same time as the main boat.

Thanks for the reply (I won't send the post off for now) but couldn't understand this, do you have to be a member of an ATYC club to get the 50% off? There's nothing on the EA craft registration form, I couldn't find anything on the EA Thames craft registration pages, so any idea how I go about this? (I'm a member of the Cruising Association - which I guess may be an ATYC club, and the Thames Vintage Boat Club - & I think we did join some years ago, but not sure whether still affiliated.
Finally, is it 50% off the cost of a tender with an outboard, or is it just for unpowered vessels?

With the renewal notices that came out at the end of last year was a simple 'River Thames Newsletter' which carried this information on the back page - but quite clearly.

"If you register your powered tender for an annual licence at the same time as your main boat we'll give you 50% off your tender licence in 2010."

It doesn't seem to appear on the Application Form itself but it is clearly for all comers and for powered tenders only.

Tender reduction

On the tender application form I think it needs to be noted as the tender to the main boat application. The amount due is then the 50% of the quoted price for powered dingys or however it's defined. You just adjust the final amount and cheque accordingly. As said previously, both forms then sent together.

It works out only a few pounds higher than the minimum registration fee for an unpowered craft, so although I don't have an outboard for the tender, I can now use the thirty odd pound that I would have spent on registration should I buy an outboard as a saving towards the purchase of an outboard. Obviously such convoluted justification is required not for me but for the higher powers that be!

Thanks for explaining it
