doesn't matter on the size of the engine, it matters on how fast you go.

10knots maximum withOUT a licence -between sunrise and sunset.

Its always annoyed me that, any idiot (and there are lots of them) can get into a 15tonne 50foot cruiser and just go for it, no licences no experience and no bloody idea.

Yeah I totally agree Squizzy.

I think that the licenseing requirements need to be looked at and reviewed.

They have been reviewed and now you need to take a course to get your license and not before time.

I am aware that they have made that change Stewie but that still does not stop someone skippering a vessel at a speed of under 10 knotts and still not being licensed as far as I am aware.
