    Yes. You can, absolutely agree.  You can also register a boat that's already in NZ offshore. There is nothing preventing either of these scenarios. 

    What you can't do, is subsequently leave the country for an overseas port if the boat is New Zealand-owned. 

    To leave you must either (a) transfer the ownership of the boat to a foreign entity, eg a Cook Islands Company; or (b) register the boat in NZ. 

    A boat is deemed to be NZ owned if it is majority owned by a NZ citizens. 

    Where are you getting your facts from?  This doesn't tally with my understanding of the issue.  Some links would be useful.

    Hey Dtwo, what fuel are you using?  I am contemplating a Cubic Mini or similar, but I want it to be able to burn briquettes, as they will be easier to store in my 8M boat compared to wood.

    Cheers

    Not sure if "briquettes" are the same as "pressed logs"?

    I like the idea of a small woodburner like the Dickinson Newport -but you require very small wood, maybe the Sigma 100 diesel burner would be better and you can still watch a comforting flame. 

    This weekend saw the first use in anger of our Cubic Mini.  Loved it although I needed to work out a way to prevent back-drafts (it was gusting over 50...).  Once I had that in place, awesome!

    There is a level of angst here about perceived curtailing of freedoms that is disturbing akin to some of the gun lobby in the USA.

    Rubbish.  The argument involves increasing levels of mindless and meaningless bureaucracy imposed by folk who have no clear levels of experience (at least the last head fella anyway).  "Freedom" doesn't come into it and this discussion hasn't needed to debate whether or not it should be permissable.

  5. 21    Pleasure craft departing for overseas
    (1)
    No master of a pleasure craft shall permit that pleasure craft to depart from any port in New Zealand for any place outside New Zealand unless—
    (a) the Director has been notified in writing of the proposed voyage and the full name of the person who is in command of the pleasure craft; and
    (b) the Director is satisfied that the pleasure craft and its safety equipment are adequate for the voyage; and
    (c) the Director is satisfied that the pleasure craft is adequately crewed for the voyage; and
    (d) the pleasure craft and the master comply with any relevant maritime rules.
    (2)
    No pleasure craft shall be entitled to a certificate of clearance to depart from any port in New Zealand under the Customs and Excise Act 2018 unless subsection (1) has been satisfied.


    Compare: 1952 No 49 s 308; 1987 No 184 s 14

    Section 21(2): amended, on 1 October 2018, by section 443(3) of the Customs and Excise Act 2018 (2018 No 4).

    ___________________________

    Above is the relevant Section 21 of the Maritime Transport Act.  I have a few questions - like exactly how is the Director going to ensure that you comply with relevant maritime rules?

     

  6. I would suspect it stems from the natural arse-f*ckery of superyacht owners who would want to install one to show other superyacht owners that their superyacht was big enough to have red lights to warn off low-flying aircraft.
