Coding

Before you can offer a boat for charter, she must be MCA coded.  Now you would expect that if the boat had previously been offered for charter and hence coded, it would pass a coding survey.  Sadly this was not the case and I spent much of 2010 finding the wherewithall to make the necessary modifications to satisfy the coding surveyor.  This was finally completed by the autumn and the end of the 'season'.  Still, all had not been lost.  Pipedreamer VI had covered 800 nautical miles during the course of the year, provided a great deal of pleasure for friends and family and won her first race.
