    Hello everybody!
    To all of you who have answered me, offering help and advices concerning getting a flag for my China Blue, I have the pleasure to announce that she has been registered by the french authorities, and will therefore officially fly a french flag!
    Thanks again to you all for your concern (and especially Eric Andlauer for his optimism!).
    Now, time to spend money on refitting her... when I'll have some!

    Hans-Erik,
    Your message is a source of joy and your encouragements give me strength in my administrative hassles.
    I know how far you live from us and if I can't share a beer with you, be sure I feel your kindness and your support across and over the equator!
    Yes, there will be more adventures.
    And I hope I'll read yours someday!

    The End

    (???)

    NO!!!

    There will be other stories!

    Patrick if, while you were writing your blog and after you posted it to the web, you wondered whether anyone other than family and friends would give a damn about your highs, lows and adventure stop.
    There is a South African who was absolutely enthralled and highly engaged whilst reading your words, admiring your images and watching your video clips.
    I am 100% certain that I am not the only such person.

    I have read too of your boat registration hassles.

    You are not permitted to give up.

    Not on the dream,

    Not on China Blue,

    And

    Never on those who love you.

    (Whether it be South Africa or anywhere else I shall happily catch and make fast your mooring line.)

    Hello Patrick,

    Some time ago I described the process of registering recreational sailing yacht under the Polish flag. Since things are a matter of change only today I asked the PYA about your and the similar case. See correspondence below. This is translation from Polish. The Polish original is available.

    Question:

    "Good morning,

    Is any CE documentation required for the registration process of a yacht currently bought from outside the EU, e.g. from the UK, but manufactured in the 1970s in the UK - such as Moody or Nicholson?"

    Answer:

    "Sir,

    Due to the introduction of the nationwide boat registration system Reja 24 - https://teresant.reja24.gov.pl/zareawod-konto, from 01/08/2020, boat registration can be made in several ways. This system allows you to register your boat yourself via the platform on the Internet, you can also go to the starosty in the place of residence. From August 1, 2020, we are unable to accept registration applications electronically sent to e-mail addresses or in the form of documents sent via the Polish Post.

    Standard documents needed to register in the new system:

    1) Proof of purchase of the boat (invoice, purchase contract - if the contract is in a language other than Polish, the contract must be translated by a sworn translator).

    2) Technical documents confirming the length and width of the boat and technical documents confirming the data of the installed engine - manufacturer, power, engine number - it may be a CE document, it may also be an opinion issued by a measurer or inspector. If the boat is mass-produced, please visit the manufacturer's website - it can only be the manufacturer's website, a specific boat model and download technical data, and I suggest doing the same in the case of an engine. In addition, you will need photos of the rating plates that appear on the engine (power and engine number), a hull number plate - should be on the boat, and a design category sticker with the total number of people that may be on the boat.

    3) Confirmation of de-registration of the boat from another register - if the boat is registered in a register other than Polish.

    4) Registration Fee.

    Therefore, in order to register, please visit the website www.reja24.gov.pl, you should set up a Customer Account there (you will need an electronic signature or e-puap). After creating the Account, select "Registration of the unit" - just like you would register the unit on your own.

    regards"

    To my surprise, I can see the Polish law and practice is (presently) quite friendly and open towards sailors, at least regarding the non-commercial yacht register.

    If you wish, we may try, with no cost to you in case of failure.

    Kris

    Hello Eric,

    I wish things were as simple, and I would like to know exactly how you would do (which authority, which process...). The people at the "DI Bretagne Pays de la Loire - Bureau de Lorient - Service Navigation" want a "lettre de pavillon", no way otherwise.


    A "lettre de pavillon" has nothing to do with technical issues.

    It is only  a letter from the UK authority (I don't know wich one) that state that the boat has resigned the UK registration. The interntional rules state that a boat can't be registered into two different countries. So before registering in France the registration in UK must be cancelled and the French administration wants a formal statement of that fact.

    In the case of the X, I provided a letter from the Dannish administration, that stated that in Denmark the boats less than 12m were not registered.

    For Mingming, she was not registered in UK and the private contract between Roger and me stated that the boat was not anymore registered in UK.

    So you must ask the seller to request the UK administration in charge of vessel administration a statement saying that the boat is no longer registered in UK or that it was not registered. The previous owner will probably have to formally cancell the UK registration (It should be a very formal and easy process (famouss last word !!! But I trust in GBland administration).

    I just had a negative reply from the UK ship register, on the ground that I am ot a UK resident. I have again asked them to reconsider, since the co-owner is UK resident and UK citizen.

    I'm really fed up. In the worst of the case I will have to try and sell back the boat in the UK and end of the story.

    Jus had the answer from the UKSSR : All owners have to be UK residents.
    So I can't get the UK flag.
    I am more and more pissed up...

    Bonjour Patrick

    I have two boats, one X95 from the 1985 and Mingming that is about the same age.

    I imported both to France, the X from Dannemark and Mingming from Great Britain.

    I had no problem with the French administrations (both Custom and Maritime administration are involved for the X and Maritime administration for Mingming).

    Both were built far before any EU certification process.

    The rule that was applied is that if the boat was "industially" build in a <<european country it could be imported in france, as a French boat older than the EU certification process can be sold in France without problem.

    In the case of UK I don't know if that rule still applies.

    Eric
