Thanks all for replying. I was going to use a broker to sell as I could do with a quick sale, but was advised to put it in the appollo duck site as thats all a broker will do. Question is: When you sell a house you use a solicitor to exchange moneys. how do you safely exchange money when selling a boat?

I think I am going to enjoy my day much more now.

I have typed out the whole RCD document more or less word for word, just changing some of the phrasing, (to get over any copyright details) adding all my own boat details etc I am getting the tech drawing for the electrics and the plumbing done and writing up the manual in the same way. The RCD doc I am using as a template was written up by a surveyor and was used to sell a boat.

Wow! This is honestly great to hear. I have been so bloody stressed, about the whole RCD thing.

Hi, thanks for replying. I am doing the RCD myself. I am using one I was given by a friend from 2007 as a template. I have looked at the list of changes in the directive for 2017 and I am including them in my RCD. There may be a few mistakes and it may not contain every single item it should have. But unless a surveyor runs thru it and knows exactly what he is looking for I think it will be OK. I dont intend to sell it without the RCD. I was just worried, very worried about completing it, and it being done correctly.

Hi. I am in the end stages of fitting my boat out. I had planned to live on the Boat but have run out of money and now need to sell and restart. It is a new build so I have to complete The Recreational Craft Directive (RCD). As my boat is a category D, I plan to self assess the boat. I don`t have the money to pay a surveyor. I have downloaded all the info telling me what I need to do to self assess and I do have a good bit of the work done, But I am still not sure if I have done enough or done it correctly. I would love to hear from anyone that has self assessed or paid to have their RCD done. I really could do with some help. If there are any kindly surveyors on here that would offer some help, I would be very grateful. Thanks.
