I need to register whitelighter, having been commisiioned in february I need to sort it now. I was going to just do SSR, but a the boatyard that sold me the boat suggested Part 1 registry was a better bet. I spoke to the people at te MCA(?) and they said the cost was £130.00 - which is fine. All set to do it they then said I need a survey? Baring in mind my boat is a mainstreem production model which is widely sold in the UK and europe, and is only 2 months old, is a survey really neccessary? They also said they dont do the surveys, so I would need to instruct someone to do it. The last time I had a survey done was when I sold my Chris Craft and it cost £500.00 - not something I want to do on a boat that really doesnt need it.
Is there any way round this? Can I just get a statement signed off by a marine engineer, or does a 2 month old boat really need a survey?.........
