Hi walter
Sorry I can't help with a reply but I would be interested in finding out more information on this subject. I myself am looking to change my cruiser for a steel trawler at the end of this year. Been wanting to do it for some time now, finaly made up my mind. Have you any particular vessels in mind?
Cheers
Syd

Recently I was having a sniff at an old trawler which was 75 ft long , it would have meant light duties pilot safety equipment adequate crew with relevant qualifications .Mind you I still was not put off by all that it was the amount of work the thing needed that did it..
I posted at the time re light duties so you should be able to find that because Byron had some handy web site that had all the info re tonnage and charges re light duties.

Bill Cooper needs to get in on this
i believe that light dues, compulsory equipment and master's tickets start at 72ft but if Bill is around I'm sure that he will enlighten further.

It's 24m where it all starts and you start needing commercialy endorsed tickets etc, That's why the ICC covers everything up to 24m. All this assumes you are not using the boat commercialy.

I would guess a sense of humour and deep pockets would be amongst the qualifications required.
Be aware that above 45 feet the rules change and the MCA apply a different code, to that for yachts below that length, so that there are additional safety requirements to be considered.

Re: Bill Cooper needs to get in on this
Commercial endorsement starts on 'any vessel' even a RIB, when acting for gain.
The Com End up to & including Yachtmaster Ocean, is for vessels up to 24 metres (& up to 200Gross Registered Tonnes, whichever fits the necessary measurement). There will be limits of operation commercially set at 60/150/150+ miles from a safe haven.
Merchant Shipping Regulations, apply to British Ships (used privately or commercially) over 80 GRT but - exemption dated 21/9/81 provides exemption for craft up to 200 grt under certain conditions of service.
Merchant Shipping Regulations on Lifesaving and firefighting Equipment applies to all pleasure craft over 45 feet (13.7 metres)
