COF Date

There has been some consternation on the issue of competitors needing a COF for this weekend’s ESA event. I have chatted to Matthys at ESA and confirmed that the COF requirement will only be an issue after the 8th of August.

I asked the BETT organisers about your last question re COF and Skippers.
Their angle is that whilst they want to abide by the regulations they have adopted a wait and see attitude. Again it is not up to the organizers BETT to ENFORCE the regulations.
When I participated in the BETT on the Vaal I only noticed ONE or maybe two other boats that had SR Numbers :blue-doubt:

I have it firsthand from the SAPS waterwing that they will Impose fines as well as confiscate the Boat. Whether they will actually do this is debatable as they dont have a large contingent to enforce this at this stage
BUT why take the chance :blue-question: :blue-sad:
There are a lot of Boats owners out there that dont seem to be taking this seriously :blue-question:
I know that Financial Institutions will not finance a boat to a new owner that does not have a skippers after 8 August :blue-smile:
