G'day Fillatte and welcome.
2 boats, you greedy bugger
I'm taking a wild guess here, you cruise the First and race the 88?
Westhaven will be implementing the new rules very shortly as will every other marina in NZ. Some, like Bayswater and Orakei, both being newish, are running them already as they were built under the new regs. Westhaven and the others have some of the regs up and running but have a few more to do. The biggest area is the electrical one really and then it isn't that big really. Apart from it all being a newish law, the marina guys all want to standardise things rather than have the mish-mass we currently do.
It's all to do with this puppy -
Quote:
The Electricity Act 1992 defines connectable installation as an electrical installation in a vehicle, relocatable building, or pleasure vessel. Fittings supplying electricity to connectable installations must also be installed and maintained so that they operate safely if used for their intended purpose
AS/NZ3004:2002 (Electrical Installations - Marinas and pleasure craft at low voltage)
Every person who hires or leases a connectable installation, or who supplies electricity to a connectable installation, must ensure the installation has a warrant of electrical fitness, or an electrical certificate of compliance (CoC) that is less than four years old.

It is only being applied (by most marinas) when no one is aboard the boat though so a good standard lead is fine if you are on board doing odd jobs.
