No they don't! 

I once made a complaint to Trading Standards about a boat sold to me that should have had an RCD (back in the day when it first came out and we all thought it would be important).

TS told me they would not be prosecuting the builder or taking any action whatsoever over it as they "had bigger fish to fry".

Since then I've not bothered with it. 

"Bigger fish to fry", sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder Mike

No, I'm a well balanced individual. I have a chip on both shoulders

Interesting. They took an interest in that absurd “efficient under floor electric heating for boats” advert that appeared a few months back. They’re still investigating. 

And surely that’s a very small fish.

Maybe that one is an easy win. The RCD regs are a bloody minefield of requirements. 

I suspect in my case it was that old chestnut, boat = rich man's play thing. Not an especially high priority case.

Not in my case - I have too many of 'em!

And you know different rich people than me.  The rich man's play things around here all wear high heels.

Me too! It may not be true but it is the perception of people working in council offices who don't own boats. 

And you put me in mind of that old maxim by Felix Dennis:"if it floats, flys or **cks, its better to rent than to buy".
