What do you always carry in the tender and how?

Is that the case anywhere else other than France?
Dunno.

Also the 300m stuff seems to imply that an annexe will always have to be registered as you cannot anchor within the 300m from a beach. So therefore you will be more than 300m from a refuge on the coast so your tender can't be a tender but has to be a proper registered boat in its own right! Seems a weird contradiction.
 
You can use the mother ship’s registration…but the tender is just that, a tender, not for going off exploring
 
Rigid tender, with lockers.
Always carry the oars, bailer, sponge, spare rowlock, some spare line, small torch, a spare nut and bolt for the nesting joint.
I can padlock the oars down so that they prevent access to one of the lockers, so all of the above live permanently in that locker. It's also a very handy place to put lifejackets and other small valuable items.

More often than not we'll take an anchor (3.5kg Manson) with about 10m of light line on it, and a fender or two.
 
Most countries apply the rcd rules for distance. IIRC our class D tender is limited to 200 metres off the shore in Portugal.
Does the RCD have rules for distance? Last I checked class D was about wave heights, it’s entirely possible to get conditions unsustainable for class D boats within 200m of the shore.
 
If I carried all that stuff I think it take me an hour just to load the dinghy every time we got in , :)
For us it just oars and a spider anchor (depending where we are) plus the outboard,chain and lock.
If we was going out at night a head touch

It lives in one bag which fits under the seat/thwart - it’s zero hassle
