BOATING SOUTH AFRICA INDUSTRY GUIDE 2015 5

The Marine Industry Association of South Africa (MIASA) recently launched their boat builders plate for small vessels in South Africa. This industry led initiative is a welcome development for boat users and boat builders alike. It aims to encourage good standards of construction in the industry and to build consumer confidence in South African built boats.

The Builders Plate is a declaration of conformity to a technical build specification, which is adjudicated and approved by the MIASA Technical Committee. The builder submits build details per model of boat, along with a copy of the warranty, trial and test certificates and SAMSA Buoyancy Certificate to MIASA. The builder is required to indicate the particular use of the boat, for example,

The vessel is a bass fishing boat intended to operate on dams and rivers. It is designed in accordance with SANS 12215 Part 5 for Category D vessels and a maximum speed of 20 knots.

The builder must also specify the maximum powering of the vessel and the laden and unladen weight applicable for the SAMSA category of operation for the boat.

Once approved by the MIASA Technical Committee as being of appropriate construction for intended use, MIASA issues a Builders Plate with a unique serial number. The boat builder completes the other information and the plate is fitted to the inside of the transom in a clearly visible position. MIASA holds all the records relating to the build specification and intended use of the boat on file. This allows MIASA to keep a record of boats manufactured and holds builders accountable to a consistent lay-up specification for their boats. It is hoped, in time, the boating public will view the Builder’s Plate as a sign of credibility, as has been demonstrated in other countries.

GET INTO BOATINGWHY GET INTO BOATING WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER THINGS TO DO?

Boating is exciting. You’ll have the freedom to explore our waters with friends and family and create special memories together. You will have fun and adventure. You can choose to have an adrenalin pumping experience or relax and unwind. Buying a boat invites you to go wake boarding, water skiing, diving, fishing and much more.

HOW TO CHOOSE A BOAT FOR YOU

1. First ask yourself what do you want to do with your boat? 2. Secondly where will you be using your boat? 3. Visit one of the boat shows, speak to the manufacturers and dealers and ask

them to recommend a boat that meets your requirements. Look out for the MIASA Builders Plate which tells you the manufacturer has built the boat to certain specifications, the maximum engine capacity and how many people you can put on your boat.

4. Consider insurance, maintenance, safety equipment and storage when putting together your budget.

5. Weigh the pros and cons of buying new versus pre-owned. If you have budget constraints and you won’t be using the boat too often, you could consider a boat sharing option with friends.

6. A boat can be a big investment. Get a professional surveyor to inspect your chosen boat for peace of mind.

7. Make a short list and get the family together for your final decision.

BOATING IS THE ULTIMATE LIFESTYLE CHOICE – GO ON - JUST ADD WATER!

Page 9: bsa-guide-2015-standard-web

BOATING SOUTH AFRICA INDUSTRY GUIDE 2015 7

THE PAPERWORK

1. In South Africa you must have a licence to drive your boat if it is motorised over 15hp. Contact the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) office in your region for a list of accredited training providers. You will need to do a theory and practical component. There are different classes of skippers tickets depending on where and when you want to use your boat.

2. Financing your boat and getting the best package is important. Talk to the manufacturer or dealer and your bank before you sign any contracts.

3. Make sure your trailer is licenced and meets any Department of Transport regulations eg data dot.

4. Your boat will have to have a Certificate of Fitness. Contact the SAMSA office in your region for a list of authorised agencies. There are different certification requirements for different types of boat.

5. Safety is paramount in boating. Make sure that you have all the approved safety equipment on your boat to meet SAMSA requirements.

6. If you are buying a boat for commercial purposes you will need to hold a valid Local General Safety Certificate from SAMSA.

7. Keep your paperwork with you when you are boating, just as you keep your car licence and drivers licence when you drive your car.

AND THEN?...

Go out there and safely enjoy yourself on the wonderful waters we have in South Africa. Whether you enjoy a leisurely cruise with family on the river, the adrenalin of jumping waves or hanging out on the back deck of your boat enjoying a braai with friends… Boating is for Everyone!... Just Add Water!

BUYERS GUIDEBUYING A BOAT IN SOUTH AFRICA

INTRODUCTION

South Africa has the most developed economy in the southern African region. The major strengths of the South African economy are its abundant natural resources, its growing manufacturing sector and considerable tourism potential. South Africa boasts an advanced and well regulated banking sector which aims generally to promote credibility, stability and economic growth. The principal legal instrument which seeks to achieve these aims is the Banks Act, 1990 and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The South African Reserve Bank, the central bank of the country, plays an important role in banking regulation and supervision.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN BOAT BUILDING EXPORT COUNCIL

SABBEX is a national export council tasked with building South Africa as a globally competitive boatbuilding export country. SABBEX has a Code of Conduct for members and prospective buyers may enquire as to the level of accreditation for a company. Not being accredited by SABBEX is a neutral position for potential customers who would then make decisions based on their own information and research of a boat builder.

RESEARCH

Ensure that you have conducted appropriate and extensive research into both the vessel and the company. Contact SABBEX for information on member accreditation status.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU BUYING?

Confirm exactly what is included in the purchase price. What taxes/import duties will be applied to the purchase? Does the boat need to be built to international standards? CE, NMMA, BV etc. Is the deposit refundable as the majority of them are not?

PURCHASE AGREEMENTS/CONTRACTS

Seek legal advice and counsel and have the contract checked by an attorney. Ensure that you receive your own copy of the contract and sign it before witnesses. Warranty procedures should be clearly written and understood by all parties

Page 14: bsa-guide-2015-standard-web

BOATING SOUTH AFRICA INDUSTRY GUIDE 201512

concerned. Address all issues PRIOR to the signing of the contract. Most South African manufacturers have clear procedures and well written contracts, and these are to protect both the seller and the buyer.

WARRANTY ADVICE

Warranties can present a problem for purchasers, builders and sellers. Traditionally maritime warranties are rectified at port of launch. Since, in most cases a yacht will have sailed away, the question of how to handle a warranty claim at distance arises. There are also issues around equipment warranties and equipment manufacturers may also claim that builders have not installed their equipment correctly. Therefore procedures for handling warranties must be written into the contract. It is normal to state that the builder has the opportunity to rectify any defect at their cost, or by their nominations of a subcontractor. If an owner wishes to nominate their own contractor, it would be normal for the owner to be paid the price it would have cost the builder. All this obviously can lead to problems and in such cases the services of an Arbitrator can be most useful.

LEGAL/ARBITRATION

Resolving problems between builders and owners through the courts become time consuming and expensive. Unless issues are very serious, arbitration can be the most effective method of solving disputes. Arbitrators may be Maritime Lawyers or Surveyors depending on whether it is a legal problem or a technical one. Arbitrators are trained in the dispassionate resolution of problems based on documentation and verbal evidence. Experience has shown that the use of arbitration is frequently the most satisfactory way of solving owner and builder disputes.

HIRING A SURVEYOR

Contact a surveyor and ask him to conduct a survey and specify exactly what you want. Ensure that you understand what the surveyor’s report will contain and obtain a quotation from the surveyor in writing – including all other expenses relating to

Page 15: bsa-guide-2015-standard-web

BOATING SOUTH AFRICA INDUSTRY GUIDE 2015 13

travel etc. Stage payments on the vessel should be made upon recommendation by the surveyor.

SURVEYS

For any purchaser, a survey by a professional Surveyor is a worthwhile investment. For a boat under construction the Surveyor will audit the boatyard’s progress through the moulding, fitting of modules, electrical system, fitting of engines, mast, launch and trials. This will result in a report of the build and a certificate. The survey documents are valuable records and will be important for resale of the yacht. They will also be baseline documents for any warranty claims. It is important to use professionally qualified Surveyors with years of experience of surveying a variety of yacht types.

COMPLETION OF BUILD

With the builder, establish an appropriate facility at which to launch the vessel and ensure you are aware of all associated costs. Ensure that the vessel undergoes a commissioning process which entails the testing of all systems and equipment based on criteria outlined by the surveyor. Make arrangements with the builder to conduct sea trials of the vessel, ensuring that you are aware of what is being tested. Ensure that the appointed surveyor is involved in this process.

SAMSA REGULATIONS

The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) has regulations which apply to South African registered vessels. SAMSA must be informed of the commencement of building any yacht or small craft intended for commercial purposes. Boat builders in South Africa are conversant with the rules which are applied to the craft they are constructing. Additional information can be obtained from specialist consultants and Surveyors or directly from SAMSA.

COMPLETION OF SALE

Once all of the above are completed to the satisfaction of both parties, a bill of sale is made by the owner for the buyer (Your surveyor should advise as to what this should contain). The owner is then paid in accordance with this joint understanding.

Page 16: bsa-guide-2015-standard-web

BOATING SOUTH AFRICA INDUSTRY GUIDE 201514

HANDOVER TO OWNER

There are a number of handover options available:The owner travels to South Africa to collect the boat and either sails the boat to its destination or hires a skipper to do so OR the boat builder sends a skipper to deliver the boat to the owner.

CLEARING YOUR OWN BOAT OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA*Please note, these procedures can change and this is a guideline:

1. Get a letter from the Yacht Club or Marina where you are moored, confirming that you don’t owe them any money. It’s a standard letter.

2. Go to the nearest Port Control Building (In Cape Town this is located at South Arm Road, Table Bay Harbour) with your boat papers and the letter from the Yacht Club/Marina to get a clearance certificate (In Cape Town the Customer Service Centre telephone number is 021 449 3111). There is no cost attached. (Customs are currently allowing you to clear out without the Port Clearance Certificate as long as you have the Yacht Club/Marina letter.)

3. Go to Immigration with the crew and passports (all crew must be present). (In Cape Town at Port Control Centre, 1 Cowrie Place, Duncan Road,

Table Bay Harbour opposite E berth, Telephone 021 421 1007)

4. Go to Customs to do the following (In Cape Town at Port Control Centre, 1 Cowrie Place, Duncan Road, Table Bay Harbour opposite E berth, Telephone 021 440 0737/10/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20):

n Complete clearing out form DA 1 as well as clearing for foreign destination form DA 3

n Show proof of immigration clearancen Produce Customs export clearance for the yacht (SAD 500 for export yachts;

NEP for local yachts)n Produce the letter from the yacht club etc.n Produce temporary pass from SAMSA for locally manufactured but as yet

unregistered export boats. If boat is already foreign registered it will have its necessary papers but Customs will still request that SAMSA confirm in some way that these are acceptable. Customs will also ask for a SAMSA competency certificate for each skipper. (In Cape Town, SAMSA, 2 Long Street, 19th floor, Telephone 021 421 6162).

It was a dark and stormy night......they were all alone on this mission.

If 2 000 people each give us R500 – we will raise the second million that we need. Whether you give R500 or R50 – together, we can do it.

The brand new, state of the art Breede Rescuer, a purpose built 8.5m rescue boat, is now in service at Witsand. The Witsand NSRI crew have raised an incredible

R1 million …we are halfway there, and now we need your help.

SMS “Breede Rescuer” and your name to 32287 (R1/SMS) and we will call you

When NSRI Station 33 Witsand crew set out to rescue 4 men whose vessel had capsized 12 nautical miles (22km) off Cape Infanta; they had no communication with the casualties. Just a last known position. And, once they left the safety of Saint Sebastian Bay, the little rescue boat, in the teeth of a gale force wind, lost all communications with their base.

Finally, in the distance, they saw a faint light. Against the odds, in

appalling conditions, whipped by the wind and battered by the sea, they had found the men in their life raft. Exhausted and icy cold the 7 men, rescuers and rescued, huddled in the little 5.5m rescue boat, as it hammered through the storm heading for home. That night, despite the success, the crew vowed … never again. Never again would they put to sea in those conditions, to travel that distance, in such a small boat. Never again.
