Thanks guys for all the information posted so far. Still a little confused about CEVNI and helming requirements, but still grateful. I am intending to purchase a motor cruiser from Holland at the moment and keep the vessel on a Dutch mooring but not until next season. This should give me an opportunity to consult with the brokers who should know exactly what is required for my vessel size and documentation required. This will then give me time to establish what is required for short visits into Belgium and Germany. Any specific information relating to these 3 countries would be greatly appreciated as will be the French rules for use at a later date. Thanks again, please keep your assistance coming David

Not actually new to boating but returning after some 35 years, now that we are retired. We have found lots of information on your forums and other sites. So far we are away revised radio licences, CEVNI endorsement, the ICC, River usuage licence ie vignette. But I am confused about the RYA Power boat level 2 up to 10 meters. It seems to read that it is required for pleasure boats over 10 meters and travelling off shore to distances up to 12 miles, by which I believe they mean a Day Skipper Licence. Is there a requirement for certification for Inland Waters measuring over 10 meters to have a separate endorsement? If so where would I find the details? Any help I can get would be much appreciated so I can get on with finding my new boat. David
