name of home port on stern

"This is to certify that members of the Pembrokeshire Yacht club are exempt from Part 1 British Registration marking regulation which states that a vessel's Port of Registry must be permanently marked on its stern. This exemption is valid until 31/12/2008. Signed by Business Manager - Registry of Shipping & Seamen"

I don't believe you.

There is no such person as Business Manager - Registry of Shipping & Seamen. I know strange things happen in Little England beyond Wales, but not that strange.

i spoke with a lettermaking companty in france over the weekend, and the requirement according to him is minimum height 10cm.

I wouldn't worry about that. As the vessel is regd in the UK may I suggest that anything the French say has little or no bearing as to size, typeface etc. On my many visits to France over the years this "Port of Registry " question has never arisen. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

But that was before London won the 2012 Olympic bid /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Prenez garde maintenant!
 
Could it be that he is referring to Part 3 regd vessels only.

It would be very funny to see the QM2 with 10cm lettering as her Port of Registry /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Brendan,

I thought I explained that in my last post, when I said, "I thought it was one of your jokes."

If you read your profile, you'll see why I thought that.

I thought it was called " Little Britain" as distinct from "Great Britain"?
 
I'm not sure if it's a legal requrement but it seems to be pretty universal in Holland.
Before I had my home port displayed I got a few comments from Dutch sailors.
I've now put BURNHAM on with a vinyl sticker.Seems to keep everyone happy.
 
This thread (2005)!! gives the correct information. part 1 it is a requirement unless your sailing club has an exemption. SSR no requirement.
As for which clubs? call the registry and ask.

There is a detailed and interesting article in a recent edition (current?) of the Cruising Association magazine covering this topic pretty comprehensively.

Paraphrasing, and without the magazine to hand, the answer is something like this. Yes. In case of Part 1 registered, this must be the port of registry. In case of SSR, this should be the home port.

Some countries seem to interpret the "home port" thing seriously (Belgium, Netherlands?) and, in the case of a Part 1 registered yacht, would expect the port of registry actually to be the home port - regardless of how practical that may be.

In any case, the article has all the details.

Portugal officials can get sniffy as well. Easier to put a home port on there,

I once "heard" (or did I dream it) that us small folk with an SSR registration could benefit from putting "Swansea" on the stern as the port of registration. I believe that's where the MCA live and hence the SSR.

Any views?

I think that this is good advice.

When checking-in to countries like Croatia (with a deserved reputation for trying to find reason to issue all, perceived rich, yachtsmen with a fine for infringing any rules that they can find), the form asks for a port of registry.

Although SSR doesn’t required a PoR, I think it wise to write Swansea or whatever address is on the back of the certificate. There’s absolutely no point in trying to argue with their officialdom because you ain’t going to win.

I can’t see the arrogance of Brexit making things any easier for British registered boats.

Funnily enough the Port of Choice is used if you change the name, not Registry. The link shows you choose your port from a substantial list, all related to P1

We just march into harbour office with P1 certificate and get treated like royalty even in Belgium. I understood P1 needed the name and port to be carved, for full compliance!

Port of registration should be on the stern, but does not apply to boats on SSR as there is no "port of registration"

Very true but most Portuguese and Spanish marinas don't accept this and demand a port of registration. This can be made up on the spot to oblige. I favour Stow-on-the-Wold.

Well, there's a box on the form, so just put something in it. They really don't like an incomplete form.

Interestingly I have always understood that a Part 1 Regd vessel must carry the port of registry on the stern UNLESS the initials of the home Yacht Club are there.

I have understood this for many years but don't know the source. Can anyone enlighten me please?

That is correct but for a fairly select group of clubs. You need an exemption letter from your club I think.
