| BVI Now Requiring Stability Tests for Multihulls
Well it was bound to happen, but the BVI are now asking for a stability booklet to be produced for annual SCV inspections and multihulls are no longer excluded. This is for all boats under 24m operating commercially (for any form of financial gain for the owner) under a BVI flag. The problem is that very few of the cats this applies to were ever built to MCA compliance therefore these weren't ever done from the factory so it might involve having these done by an MCA surveyor at a quoted cost of $2500-3000. Also the amount of customization that has occurred on most boats would void a 'standard' one anyway.  |
