If rowboats only pay £19 per year for a licence, can I register my tender with British Rowing and get a licence for same price?
Thinking out loud.....

Are you a member of a rowing club ?
Is the tender outboard powered or exclusively rowed around ?

Or could your tender be considered a liferaft?

Have an outboard but never use it up here only on coast.

Get a kayak and join the BCU (Canoe England). Then you are covered for all EA and BW waters....

What constitutes difference between dinghy and kayak?
What if I switch to a paddle rather than oars?

If you don't put the outboard on it , then it can be registered as an unpowered craft , £30 a year.
The moment you put the outboard on it , you need a full licence.
Although , if you register it as a tender at the same time as you register your big boat , don't you get the tender at half price ? wouldn't be much more than £30 anyway ?

IIRC my tender was £27.50 ish.
BUT half price is supposed to be on "special offer" and may not be repeated next year.

If the rowers get it for £19, then anything more is being ripped off.

Seemples then,
equip your beloved dinghy with outriggers and two 9ft. Oars.
Problem is that you won't be able to get out of the marina in it......

AFAIK the £19 is something to do with being in a club ?
Although saying that , plenty of people who row / sail on the reach above came down to the lock in january to buy their £30 licence.

So we call our tenders rowing boats and get it at @ half price but if we call it a tender that we row to our boats on it costs double ish ? Give or take a few quid but that doesnt matter cause we are rich .

If you keep your tender on your boat and don't actually put it in the water then you don't need a licence at all.
Mind you, if you keep it on davits that probably adds another metre of cost to your Marina fees which is around ten times as expensive as a non-powered licence

Now davits for my boat - what a good idea........
