ooops this is a conundrum...

I do have the license to sail a vessel, the question is:

1 Will my Italian license allow me to sail a British registered vessel in British waters?

Anybody aboard a privately owned yacht may sail her in British tidal waters without any form of qualification, certificate or licence. This was so before Brexit and it remains so today. 

Amen.

A clear start is all I need, then I'll tackle the issues as (and if) they come.

Thankyou Eric and Asmat.

I found the insurance, the whip before the horse-:)

Well done !

Next issue : the French bureaucratie have defined a sailing licence for the navigation on the French canals. I don't know if it is relevant for strangers and how.

Branwen spent more than a year in French inland waterways 10 years ago, while she was still a gaff cutter. The regulations required the skipper to possess an International Certificate of Competence, together with having passed an examination to obtain a CEVNI certificate. More money wasted: I wasn't asked to show these papers at any time.

My normal attitude towards pointless bureaucracy does not apply here - I think it's just as important that skippers navigating these commercial waterways know the rules, as that drivers of cars must be licensed. This requirement seems not to apply to holidaymakers in charge of big motor cruisers hired from companies such as Le Boat.

YCC is not an option, I think, as Italy did not implemented resolution 40

Ideas?

Bonjour

ATIS is only required for boats more than 20m. Otherwise any hand held VHF is sufficient and only required on some specific area (Paris for example).

The issue of keeping the British flag for the journey to Italy is mainly an insurance issue.

For example, I found a French insurance, but it was not obvious, that covered my Dannish boat for the travel from Copenhagen to Britanny.

I suppose that the boat is actually registered in the "small boat registration" category.

You must have a paper provided by the seller indicating that the boat has been cancelled from the registration.

Formelly, your boat should be registered to travel out of the national country watters and I'm not sure that the "small boat registration" is valid for international travels (BREXIT).

For example :the Dannish boats are not registered under 20m and I travelled all around Europe without any problem; but it was not formally correct. In case of problem, my English would have been very poor and I would have play the fool (Latin way of life).

If you by the boat from a physical person the VAT will be supposed to be already paid.
