Preparing your boat before its Boat Safety Scheme examination can really pay off. Apart from checking to see that installations, components and fittings come up to scratch before the examiner arrives, there are several things you can do to make the whole process run smoothly.
-
Have the existing Boat Safety Scheme Certificate to hand. This will help the examiner with information about the boat, such as when it was constructed, and allow him to confirm the expiry date of your current certificate.
-
Ensure the boat is fully functional so that a complete examination can take place. This includes having a fully charged battery and sufficient gas and water, along with any other documentation that shows compliance with the Boat Safety Scheme requirements.

-
Notify any landowners that may be required to give access to the examiner so that he can get to where your boat is moored.
