The number of boats conforming to the Acts and Regulations is 807, or
91.9 per cent. of the total, the percentage for the previous five years being
92.2 per cent.
In addition to the above, 30 boats were visited and the cabins, found to be
locked, there being no person on board. Inspection was, therefore, impossible,
and they are not included in the number of boats inspected.
(3) With reference to the various infringements of the Act—
(a) Three unregistered boats were found, and registered.
(b) No notifications were received with regard to change of master.
(c) Certificates: These were absent in 20 cases, and in 13 of these cases
the Certificates have subsequently been placed on board, and the infringement
remedied.
In no case was a Certificate found which did not identify the owner
with the boat.
(d) Marking and numbering—Nine boats were found to be incorrectly
marked and numbered.
(e) Overcrowding occurred on two boats.
The "Buzzard," registered Berkhamsted, No. 451, was found to have one
lad occupying the fore cabin which has not been certified for occupation.
