Black Panther 657 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Actually correct. All i could find was download and print this form. Fill it out and mail it back. None of which is easy. (I live on a boat with only a cellphone and no printer and a long walk to the PO) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 177 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 It’s not in my backyard but for the greater good I did my bit and filled it in whilst sitting here in Starship. I did it online using my smartphone - was able to log in with my Gmail account credentials so minimal hurdles. Took about 10 mins end to end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Terry B 29 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 BP - did you click on the link that IT provided at the start of this thread? As Fogg says, it's easy enough to do on the phone. They ask you to log in but thats easy - takes 30 seconds to set up a login and password........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 177 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 In case it helps, for the speed question where they ask you to give a reason for your response, this was my answer: It’s a dangerously congested zone with many (unreported) near misses happening every week mainly between fast launches and slower vessels. 12kts keeps this just about manageable. 18kts increase risk unrealistically. It is the same as asking residents if a 50 km/h urban street if they support an increase to 80 km/h and asking them “why not?”. Just think about it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romany 70 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Go on line people its easy. I'm with Zozza on this. If 18 knots is allowed I will stay out of the harbour. Its going to be a sh*t fight Zozza 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 105 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 18 knots to justify the speed of the pilot boats perhaps?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 177 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 The pilot boats break the speed limited every hour of the day. I have evidence fir this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aardvarkash10 151 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Note that consultation is open until 14 February 2021. There is a LOT of information provided in the review report. There is also a lot missing and key from this discussion is detail on which vessels and how many of them produce a more disruptive wake at 12 knots than at 18 knots. There is also no clear comparative risk analysis ie is the risk of the increase in speed limit overall higher or lower than status quo. I suggest that, if you are going to make a submission, you read the report and reference it in your response. Govt wonks love that sort of thing, but it also may prompt further thought for you.

Tamure 361 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 How many times have we all been sailing and some dickhead goes by in their Riv too close and too fast? Change the rules all you like but no one enforces them so whats the point? harrytom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romany 70 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 That Tamure, was the guts of my response i.e. Don't change it, and police what you by-laws do have already. BP u have plenty of time - take it slowly, you can do it . No walking or even writing to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
