Haha, yeah, nah, not what I meant. I agree with khayyam that actually enforcing our existing rules might be a good start.

Seems to me that beefing up the AKL HM to better enforce the regs that do exist might be the middle ground that satisfies everyone.

Countries, states, counties, jurisdictions that license and register boat do not have improved statistics regards boating accidents and drownings.

Yes!

Had a 25hp Izuzu in ours with 2 blade folder. Was a good setup but the V-drive was not so good. Could still do 6kn upwind in a good breeze. Sorry if my last post offended you AV10. All to their own I guess. Lighten up fella.

I’m sure you don’t mean this Clipper but the logical inference of your comment is that you think we should do away with car licensing and registration …

doesn't work to acheive what? Where? Under what circumstances? I agree that badly drafted law and poor enforcement may lead to poor outcomes. Also, legislation and regulation is not the 100% cure - education, social pressure, the power of insurance companies to require proof, all contribute. But every year we see posts like the op - a constant stream of complaints about poor boat-handling, navigation, colregs compliance, harbour bylaw compliance. Just as there is a claim that legislating licincing and registration don't work, its obivious the status quo is not working either.
