Responsibility

[Guest]

A person owns a boat and he rents out to an aquaintance.

 

Much discussed on here previously, renting is renting and requires a different licence, BSS cert. and insurance, which is why a lot of people don't do it. the number of owners and the number of boats involved makes no difference.

 

Loaning to an acquittance and that someone covering expenses such as diesel used may however be different.

 

I flagged it because if the person involved gets into any discussion with CRT about the liability for the penalty notice they need to avoid the use of the word 'renting' or I suspect he may open another can of worms.

Ok So lets ask another question then. Does 'Continuous Cruising' and the rules laid down apply only to people who CC and live on their boats or do they apply to people who have no home mooring but do not live on their boats?

 

Gawd its not hard! There is nothing in s17 which refers to whether the boater lives on the boat or not. If it doesn't have a home mooring then the applicant has to satisfy the Board that the boat will be used bona fide for navigation...(etc)
