Spanish Trip

[Chris]

Planning on two weeks in Bellcaire D'Emporda nr Gerona this July so am going to send the family down to Gerona via RyanAir and I will drive down a few days before through France.

I am getting my ICC form submitted as I know that the RYA Level 2 is not always recognised abroad, can anyone think of any other paperwork I will need either for towing the boat or using it in Spain?

Also there is a marina at L'escala a couple of kilometres away and I would be interested to know if anyone has any experience of using it?

Thanks!

Does not do any harm to carry

• SRC
• Ships Radio License
• Proof of boat ownership and vat
• Car driving license
• insurance for boat and car
• AA Membership for Europe
• eh1c for all family members

i know that area quite well, part of the family have a villa there, i think the marina has been done up a bit, the last time i was there it was full of fishing boats, i may be able to fix you up with some paraglideing i f you fancy, my mate who did the ariel stuff on my boat is based down there

We have a boat kept in a marina in northern Spain and for that we needed our day skipper course but to launch a boat i don't think you require this. The most important things you will need are proof of ownership of the boat, insurance and your passport.

I don't think there is much else you will need.

Sounds a nice trip Chris!! Would definitely replace the bearings on the ol DB before you go mate,enough of a hassle when mine went in Dorset last year..think Id take a spare set too.
Got the new trim tabs fitted yet?

Hi mate, yes the trailer will be having a major drums off overhaul before heading off for a 2k jaunt. I will be replacing the bearings and taking a spare hub with bearings fitted if Rogue Wave does not mind lending me one of his spares.
