North East Yacht Surveys offer you a way to make your code Inspection stress free and efficient, so you don’t waste time on this essential bit of “red tape”.

As soon as you request a code inspection we will send you a copy of the actual form we use for the RYA or IIMS, so you can be sure in advance that everything is present and correct for the code inspection. These forms contain a fair amount of jargon which may be new to you so if you have any questions about them please phone or email us in advance so we don’t have to mess you about finding bits of equipment or paperwork on “the day”. Don’t forget we are there to help you, not to catch you out.

We must see all the paperwork, and operate all the equipment itemised on the attached form. We will certainly want to see the old SCV2 and stability data if applicable, and all safety equipment, fire extinguishers, life rafts, etc, please don’t say something is in the garage or in the file at home!! It also speeds things up if the required equipment is laid out or readily available for inspection.

An example of how to prepare

In a nutshell, please bring all the paperwork and all the boat’s equipment required by the code, everything, the lot! If you find you are not ready, please let us know so that we can reschedule. A repeat visit wastes time and money for us both.
