(2) The total number of inspections for the year was 141, representing a net
number of 89 boats. The remainder, 52, represents repeated visits by Inspectors of
this Authority.
The number of boats not conforming to the Acts and Regulations was 39 (inspected
on 75 occasions, or 27*65 per cent, of the total inspections, the percentage for the
previous five years being 18 '87 per cent.).
In addition to the above, two boats were at the time of visit found with the cabin
doors locked, there being no persons on board. Inspection was therefore impossible,
and these visits are not included in the number of boats inspected.
