New rules for DSC/VHF
and EPIRP
The Department of Merchant Navy finally enforced the use of DSC/VHF
and EPIRP on all charter boats that have been registered from 1st
February 2000. This will make the boat owners dig their hands deeper
into their pocket as the previous seasons have not been to expectations
with all other expenses getting dearer and the income from the charters
being the same or lower in some cases for the last 5 - 7 years.
Another matter will be the education of the charterers in the use
of these two equipment and soon will need to produce a certificate
for having passed a test in the use of them.
lets hope for the best

As from today we are no longer the base managers for Moorings &
Athenian Yacht Charters.
The association with Athenian Yacht Charters started in 1997 where
we represented the company in Corfu as base managers for all their
charters.
In the spring of 2001 Moorings asked us to become their base managers
too.
Being in the same group as Athenian we managed both companies
separately until now.Their policy changed and they decided to put
one of their own personel to handle both bases.
We wish them and the new base manager luck in their new venture
and we will continue to help if and when needed.
Anna, myself will continue to represent the rest of the yachting
companies and boat owners as we did in the past.
The new position in the marina is on Pier B between No16 &
21. The position is very convenient as it is right next door to
the pedestrian entry/exit of the marina into the village.
