As you say, the Marinas are more likely to be effective in at least changing the penalty for above 12m than any external pressure.
I think that must be right - the Greeks are unlikely to be particularly sympathetic at the moment to a bunch of foreigners who they hold largely responsible for the immigration mess and the bailout. I have quite a lot of dealings with the Greek government on the former and while working relationships with individual officials was (nearly) always friendly and constructive, the political atmosphere was at times best described as petulant. CA might get more traction working closely with Greek interests like the marinas association than directly, though they are of course right to utilise government connections. (I speak as a CA member, so I am entitled to an opinion!).
