Well I’ve met a few and heard of a few more. Plus there’s some people on the internet who are withdrawing payment of the licence in protest over the cc’er surcharge. I think the idea is to bring the issue in front of a court. If enough people do this then crt are going to have a big issue to deal with that will cost more than the surcharge is set to raise.

It's an interesting idea but the problem is that the majority of licence payers agree with the surcharge and are relishing the thought of all those horrid cc-ers getting screwed over. Still, there are a lot of them (horrid cc-ers) so it may have a chance of some sort of success but I don't see how it may result in a court considering if the charge is fair or not. |

I sometimes wonder how long you could get away with launching a previously unregistered boat. Maybe fake index n'all.

Lots of people say lots of things. Individuals on their own will be picked off as low hanging fruit and will not have the resources to fight legal proceedings. What is really needed is for the cause to be taken up by a respected authority that has all boaters interest at heart. The usual suspects, IWA, NABO, and , now let me think, there is another that escapes me. I'll sit here twirling my fingers whilst I try to recall them. They could utilise the in depth legal knowledge of some canal expert who has experience of tackling CaRT. That should get some positive results.  |

There's going to be a lot of s8s. And when the train gets rolling, the entire process will be outsourced.

I now realise I made a fatal error selling the barge. What I should have done is kept it, modified to have an opening front door and fitted a scrap grinder in there.
Munching through old heaps of terrible rubbish and getting paid.
Sounds ideal!
It could double as a floating dry dock.

If its GRP we just charge the nav authority for removal then grind it and sell it to construction companies as a filler aggregate.

If you moved around rather than stayed in one place, you could get away with it for as long as you like. As I’ve said before crt go for the low hanging fruit. I can show you boats that have been in the same place on visitor moorings for five years without moving. So if you moved about, they really wouldn’t catch up with you. Crt enforcement system just isn’t fit for purpose. |

Always worth making sure the Boat can be gone in 5 minutes if needed.

Yeah, if they serve a s8 on it then so long as you have the number for boat transport...you could re-launch in a different part of the system.

If you kept moving, where are they going to come to tow your boat away from? There are an increasing number of boats who are already at this. The crt enforcement system is unable to cope with it. |

And if you got away with it for a few years...several grand saved. I should have thought of this ages ago. |
