(2) The total number of inspections for the year was 199, representing a nett
number of 121 boats. The remainder, 78, represents repeated visits by Inspectors
of this Authority.
The number of boats not conforming to the Acts and Regulations was 38
(inspected on 59 occasions, or 29.64 per cent. of the total inspections, the percentage
for the previous five years being 21.85 per cent).
In addition to the above, 12 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.
