I was asked to carry out a Survey at Brundall Gardens Marina today. The instruction was to check the vessels CE Certification, Boat Safety Scheme Compliance, and to include a Structural Survey and Valuation for Insurance purpose.
This was a 'Part Built' Barge by Norwich Boat Company. (2011). Check out their website on Sailways: Northwich Boat Company
Surveyors comments: It should be noted that all vessels built after the 16th June, 1998 MUST comply with the CE Directive. Vessels built before that date need not comply fully with the new CEN Standards where these differ technically from the EA/BW Unified Boat Safety Scheme provided that this presents no serious risk to life or property. Boats built or largely completed by the owner as in this case can be excluded from the scope of the RCD provided the craft is not sold within the EEA for a period of five years.
