Departing NZ shores? Don’t forget...

by Jodie Bakewell-White

Maritime NZ has advised Yachting New Zealand to remind blue-water bound owners and Yacht Inspectors that the Yacht Safety Inspection (MSA/MNZ 12409 form) required for Category One is valid for one calendar month from the date of issue.

Whether racing or cruising, if you are the Skipper of a yacht departing New Zealand there is always plenty on the ‘to do’ list. But don’t forget to get in touch with a YNZ Inspector [you can use the on-line search on the YNZ website] well in advance and schedule an Inspection within one month of your planned departure date.

Departing yachts should be aware that any certificate older than one month will not be accepted by Customs.
