SIB/boat use in France

[Oli.]

Right all sorted. Passed my CEVNI. Now all I need is the blue waterskiing flag - where can I get this from?

Also does anyone the fishing regulations on annecy? We are planning on taking rods. What tackle do people use?

And finally, towing a small boat, do you pay more on the toll roads?

No you dont.

Have a look Vehicle classification on french motorways - ASFA

[SR4]

Could someone please tell me what a RIB is classified as in SSR registration terms e.g. Inflatable, sports boat

Thanks

[SR4]

OK, seems I found the answer which is to ignore the pre set answers and opt for 'other' then specify 'Rigid Inflatable Boat'

What SSR are you completing, Part 1 or Part 3

[SR4]

SSR is only part III

The mother ship is part I, this is the tender and as I want to use it away from the mother ship on occasions including abroad it needs to be registered, I called them and they said there was no problem in having it registered in its own right on the SSR, I have registered it with the T/T (Tender to) logo before the name as marked on the craft, it is insured as a tender to the main vessel and has insurance in it's own right as a stand alone vessel, including skiing/water-sports liability

On the SSR part 3, I do not see an other to give you RIB !!

Look at section 2, right hand side below 'barge'

Did mine on line, did not have that option, never mind, its registered as an inflatable, with all the correct details.

[SR4]

Not the best of systems, but I think online there is a generic box to make any notes, but if all else is correct I wouldn't worry, not your fault they have a rubbish system.

The blue flag I need for towing on Lake Annecy, does anyone know where I can get this from or do I have to buy it out there?

[davenport5]

I got mine from the shop below, all done by email in French using Google translate. Ask for a "Fanion de ski". They charged me €24 two years ago including postage.

Anothe question before the big off on Friday, can you sk/board/wakeboardi anywhere on annecy or are there defined areas?

[davenport5]

Anywhere inside the yellow boys, which are about 100 yards from the shore.
