biggcol Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Can anyone provide me with the specs to fit out the new boat (not even in the mold yet), to COP regs. e.g. rail height, tube size, nav lights, etc. etc. Or point me in the right direction to find them on the net. I have been looking but not found the specs as yet. It's quite a way off yet but I intend to buy in the stuff before the VAT increase at the end of this year.

great white Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Colin I will have a look when I get home, I have a small book on the subject I will post details rather than quote from it as it may need updating. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 http://www.mcga.gov.uk/c4mca/brown-withpage8.pdf Its a long document, but worth reading through and understanding the basics. If you are building it and intend to actually get it coded, you'll need to follow it to the letter, plus take advice from your surveyor. If you just want the boat to be near to coding as reasonably possible (as I did) read it, makes notes on the pertinant areas and do your best. As you mention the basics are things like rail heights, upstands on deck hatches, saftey rails and wires. Things like nav lights need adhering to even outside of the COP. For our sized boats it is all pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shytalk Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 should be able to order a copy from any good book shop i have a copy which can be read but i dont want to loose it . the whole thing is open to various interpretations depending on the surveyor but it is quite simple when its translated into laymans terms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggcol Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thanks all for the replies. I will only be finishing off the boat and wish to keep it as near to cop as I can. I shall try and wade through the document that Adam linked and then also will consider the book. Thanks for your kind offer Paul. We are off to Spain tomorrow so I will let you know at the next meeting if I decide to buy the book. Thanks also to you Charlie I have noted the details. I had a quick look at the link from Adam it looks like ideal holiday reading Thanks again to all I knew you would come up trumps. Wot a great club Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
