The RYA's information page about what happens after Brexit:
Brexit - what happens next? | Current Affairs | Knowledge & Advice | RYA - Royal Yachting Association
states in it's final paragraphs:
"The RYA has been lobbying hard to ensure that the inadequacy of the Schengen visa time frames for UK residents who keep their boats in the EU and who wish to cruise in excess of 90 days on Community waters is understood.
We are asking members who would be impacted by the restriction of only being able to spend 90 days in any 180 days in the Schengen area to write to their MP and urge the UK Government to seek reciprocity, as UK allows visitors to stay for up to six months."
I brought this to the attention of my MP by email, and it would seem that he is now going to try to pursue this matter through parliament! Whether his efforts will have any affect, I can of course not say, but it is a positive step in the right direction at least. I would therefore encourage as many people as possible to write to their MPs. It's also worth noting that this was not the first time that I'd emailed my MP regarding this matter, but it is the first time that he has seemingly been willing to pursue the matter at all. It would therefore seem that referencing the RYA and the above paragraph is key.
