'Poor Visibility' Police Check. May I continue??; S2/E1

"Sorry" to headphone users: Most of the footage is shot with a GoPro and it seems that this camera picks up a very low tone from the Engine Room. Cannot filter that out. Will look for a solution.
ENGLISH (Nederlands hieronder):
The weather forecast on VHF 1, mentioned 'poor visibility' for the whole Markermeer (700 km2) and IJsselmeer (1.100 km2) area. But what a beautiful day, so I decided to lift anchor and head for the historical city Enkhuizen and the locks of Kornwerderzand. But was that a wise decision?
The answer on that question you'll find in this video.
Be sure to watch to the end for more of this comical sailing guy.
I hope you enjoy this one, leave me a comment (I would love to hear from you) and as always, thank you for your support - much love to you all

Super leuk dat je deze video hebt gevonden. Ik ben Henk-Jan van Essen, en behalve dit kanaal, kan het zomaar zijn dat je mij op nog meer kanalen tegen komt. Ervaringen en kennis delen via bewegend beeld, blijft nu eenmaal leuk. Vind ik dan. (en jij blijkbaar ook, want anders las je dit niet)
Als je meer van MV Lady Liselot wilt zien, abonneer je dan op dit kanaal.
Omdat ik veel (bootjes-)kennissen heb die in het buitenland wonen, heb ik besloten om de video in het Engels te doen. Wellicht vind je het 'steenkolen Engels', vergeef me dat dan maar, want zij die uitsluitend Engels spreken, zijn al heel blij dat ze op deze manier mij kunnen volgen. En als je het desondanks toch leuk vindt, dan maak je me blij met die Thumbs Up.

Hahaha you are welcome! I guess that all boaters will agree on your conclusion. Waking up with fog on the water and the sun peeping out is one of the many magic moments we face. Others have dolfins around the boat, or great shores and even just beautiful formations of clouds can great joy. As long as you notice it.

Greetings from England. Another enjoyable and well edited video skipper and I so appreciate your relaxed and unflustered management of Lady Liselot. I endorse the request made by several others, of a tour of your craft, together with a description of the construction, the equipment on board and some details of your own reason for voyages. It would also be interesting to know a little about yourself. Are you retired for instance and what was (or is) your profession. If you think that I am too inquisitive, I will not be in the least offended if you tell me to mind my own business.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

HAHAHA John, One guy on youtube mentioned that the subscribers are in fact part of you 'virtual family'. And family and friends know quite a lot about you. Had no idea it worked that way when I did my first upload 6 weeks ago. So I understand people wanna to get to know me better. Or at least have the impression that they get know me. From each comment I learn about what others would like to know from me: "Imagine we met on the dock. What would I tell, or what would people wanted to know." Funny enough sharing my boat trip feels less personal than what you (and many others by now) ask from me. I have a question: I hardle ever watch the walk-through vids of boats on YT. Just not interested. So just to fulfill my curiousity: what's that about this tour?

Leuke video's man, ik kijk al uit naar de volgende. Ik zag en hoorde dat jouw misthoorn automatisch elke 30 sec af gaat? heb je een of andere module voor je scheepshoorn gezet en welke is dat dan? Gr Stanley

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hey Stanly, ik ben blij dat je de video's leuk vindt. Er was een moment waarop ik dacht "Wat heb ik nodig om iets van 12v, 5 seconden lang een stroompje te geven, en dat iedere 30 seconden te herhalen?" En toen vond ik een programmeerbaar Vertraging Relais. Vind je het al spannend? ;-) Je koopt 'm hier: nl.aliexpress.com/item/32813409866.html Met knopje 1 stel je de timer in zodra je er stroom op zet (in mijn geval 30seconden) en knopje 2 programmeert de tijd dat de stroom er op moet staan (in mijn geval 5seconden). Echt zo simpel. De 'normale' hoorn bediening zit natuurlijk op een drukschakelaar, en de 'misthoorn' zit op een on/off omdat er wel stroom op moet blijven staan. Zowel voor de module als voor de hoorn. Stanley wants to know what module I used to create a fog horn that sounds every 30 seconds for 5 seconds, so in the Dutch text above you find the hyperlink of the module I bought.

I have always stated. If one has to choose between AIS and radar, radar is overwhelmingly the choice to make

[@MVLadyLiselot]

I agree. The AIS was allready on board when I bought her. For a long time I thought the € 3,000.- investement for a radar (cheapest searadar verion) is quite a lot of money if you only should use it 3x a year. BUT... since I started sailing in the early mornings and late afternoons in winter, radar would give ease of mind. So that investement is on the list.

[@newenglandergray3002]

Henk -- I really enjoy your upbeat attitude, good photography, and boat handling. Here in the USA, one would not need the certificates and licenses you showed the police. What is involved regarding course work and training if one is Dutch and wants to own and operate a yacht like yours?

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hi Stan, well it's because of my broad history that I gathered some licenses. When the boats is longer than 15m, OR/AND it's speeds exceeds 20km/h, one must have a boating license level 1 (AND the boat needs a certain certificate with registration No shown). If you use that boat at sea and some great lakes/open water, you must have boating license level 2. If you have a VHF on board you need VHF license level 1 and if that VHF also has DSC, you need VHF license level 2. BUT... then many boats are shorter than 15, have a slow speed and no VHF, so ANYBODY can drive that boat. Just buy it, drop it into the water and off you go. No knowledge needed or tested. So in Summer I see "I have nu clue what I am doing right here" attitude all the time. ;-) My horn works fine and produces a sound 100dB+.

Lovely boat and video. I am a bit concerned now how much documentation you seem to need to carry. VAT? What bloody VAT? I am off to find out what I should have had here in the uk! Ignorance is bliss as we say here. So much for the freedom of the open seas!😳🥺😔

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Well, the UK is not open at all. Especially now that the UK is no longer a member of Europe and has no chengen connection, it is a disaster for sailors with a British passport to sail in Europe for longer than a certain time. Has to do with numerous visa rules. Really annoying for British sailors. Do a search here on YT and you'll probably find more about it. "Sailing Fair Isle" is a channel from a British couple who are having trouble with that. The tax letter is only a small part of the documents that you must have when you go to sea. Sailing away is no problem. Returning to England is a very different story.

In the US you do not need a license to drive a boat unless it is for commercial purposes. I am surprised from the comments below that the Schengen countries do not have a common boating standard. I was also surprised that during the police check, they asked for so many documents including a proof of VAT? Most police checks in the US are for checking safety equipment such as life preservers for each person onboard and flares.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Yes, we Dutchies love regulations and licences. Flares are checked when one is at sea. That's because we have two large lakes where one can wander around without being noticed and that's it. Life preservers are checked when one has a 'fast' boat (20km/h)

Ik heb nog nooit gehoord dat er meer zou zijn voor een jacht, behalve dan nu voor een toenemend aantal landen een zeebrief. Dus ik ben benieuwd. En waarom controleerde hij je vaarbewijs? Lady Liselotte is toch onder de 15m en onder de 20 km/u? Naar mijn idee zou hij qua papierwerk alleen je marifoonpapieren kunnen controleren en mogelijk (maar dat vind ik al twijfelachtig) je BTW-verklaring en, indien er een verdenking op je rust, een identiteitsbewijs. Verder gaat hem niets aan wat je aan papieren hebt of niet hebt. Leuke filmpjes. Ik herken hier heel erg veel in omdat ik ook heel lang allerlei reizen zowel in binnen- als buitenland solo heb gemaakt. Dus van mij krijg je een duim. Mvg Felix

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hoi Felix, dank je wel voor je thumbs up. Je hebt gelijk, ik gebruik 2 Engelse woorden achter elkaar voor hetzelfde document. Dat brengt verwarring. Alle documenten melden dat ze onder de 15m zit, maat als je de meetlat pakt, dan kom je nèt iets langer uit. Het was een geanimeerd gesprek van een agent die gek is van varen, en hij vroeg me "Wat heb je zoal aan papieren", dus dat liet ik zien. Officieel had ik in feite niets hoeven laten zien, maar ik heb niets te verbergen.

Dat is het markermeer bij opstaan by the way.... Niet ijsselmeer

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Tijdens de topografielessen op de lagere school leerde ik dat die plas het IJsselmeer werd genoemd. Hoe verbaasd was ik dat ze er een dijkje doorheen hadden gelegd en de naam hadden veranderd. En, dat zonder met mij te overleggen. Vandaar dus: IJsselmeer.

Hey, what do you mean by "customs certificate" and "VAT certificate"? @15:29

[@MVLadyLiselot]

They wanted to know if I could proof that the VAT was paid which document is given by the customs office in The Netherlands. One of the papers one must have the moment you go abroad.

[@djmini2numpty141]

would it be fair to say, based on all the videos i have watched, you use you engines 90 percent of the time to steer ? if so why. cheers Frank

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hey Frank, is it 90% throttle steering? I would say "When maneuvering I prefer throttle steering" mainly because the boat responds way faster than with the rudder. A little port throttle make to bow go starboard and vice versa. Or, a little less port throttle, will make the bow go port. Much less 'work' then turning the wheel constantly. When I drive the boat in a strait course And using 1 or 2 engines), I use the fixed or a plotted course of the autopilot.

[@dd-notimeto]

Do you have a radar licence? I was told there are around 900 Euro fees for driving a sportboat during poor visibility without radar licence in Netherlands. Is it true?

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Hello Dmitri, in Mederland we know the legislation surrounding shipping and we call it the BPR. the BPR describes very precisely on which waterways you can and cannot sail with poor visibility. The IJsselmeer is not mentioned in that document and that is why I left. had it been mentioned, I would indeed have been in violation.

Overweeg je om een drone aan te schaffen HJ. ? Dan krijg je een veel betere indruk van je boot en de omgeving. Misschien ook een goPro/cameraatje hoog in de mast ? Is natuurlijk een investering, maar als je je kanaal wil laten groeien, is dat wel nodig, denk ik. Maar dat is maar mijn mening. Knap dat je in n maand 1100 abo's weet te strikken.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Ja grappig toch, die groei van het aantal abonnees. Het begon als grapje, maar het lijkt nu toch echt een baantje er bij te worden. De DJI mini 2 is sinds een week aan boord en natuurlijk al gecrasht. De eerste proefopnamen op land zijn veel belovend, dus vanaf video 12 of 13 ga ik de eerste drone opnamen toevoegen.

[@romakayak]

Why do you need a customs certificate?

[@MVLadyLiselot]

To show that the VAT is paid. When you sail just in your own country, no officer will ask you for the VAT certificate. The moment you are at sea and return to your contry, customs can step on board and say "How long do you have this boat, and have you paid VAT", since they have seen many people buying a boat abroad (cash) with paying VAT. So even being Dutch, I must proof to customes, the moment that I enter Dutch water and they come along side, that originally the boat is brought to The Netherlands and the owner then paid the necesarry VAT.

No radar for fog conditions?

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Nope. Saving money to buy one. And the small ones (the domes) you see on yachts are officially not regulated. One may only use these at sea. Not to use on the main waterways. But as said, this lake is not registered as main waterway.

[@stevecarter9027]

@@MVLadyLiselot Thanks for that. I was out in extremely thick fog Sunday, and used the radar, something I seldom do. (Try to have eyes more on the water) I had a fast boat heading straight for me on radar, so at the last moment I turned away. He was quite shocked to see me. (Look on his face we were that close) We don’t have any regulations that I know of on radar here in BC Canada. Mine, installed by the PO is digital? And overlays on the gps. Sensitive and without the clutter and confusion I remember on previous radars. We get extremely thick fog in my cruising waters here.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

@@stevecarter9027 I am in doubt what to do. Spend € 2.600,- on the new Doppler radar and then find out one hardly uses it. But also at night a radar comes in handy and with sunsets at :400 PM in Wintertime one sometimes have to move on in the dark. And the other hand: "what is € 2,600.- when it comes to safety?" Well I can think about some things.....

[@sm6wet]

Nice video. You need a license to drive a 49' boat in Netherlands? What are the licensing rules per feet or meters in Netherlands?

[@Frank-cr1uy]

License rule: above 15 meter / 49.21 feet. And for every boat below this length but capable speed above 20 km/h / 10.79 knots. You need the liccense 1 (ICC for inland waters) on the Ijsselmeer you need additional license 2 (ICC for inland and coastal waters) For VHF you always need a license. (also for the vhf equipment separately) In an early video it was said that MV LadyLiselot is 15,5 meter, so license needed. It's always good the get a license offcourse.

[@MVLadyLiselot]

@@Frank-cr1uy Good response!!

[@MVLadyLiselot]

Lady Liselot's lenght is a gray area. All documents state a 14.90m. But, that's without the swim platform. That platform is 60cm and the 38Kg Mantus anchor on the bow also sticks out 50cm. So there is a difference in what is stated on the various official documents and what the actual length is. With ships of 16, 17, 18 m and longer you can see with the naked eye that they are longer, and then it is somewhat easy to determine the length. I haven't heard any stories about the enforcers or police taking a tape measure and measuring the ship. The speed is another story. As Frank says, you need a boat license for every floating vehicle that can go faster than 20 km per hour. So also those hoverboards that skim over the water with foils: it goes faster than 20 km per hour; so a license is required. In 1999 I sailed solo to England and the Channel Islands in a 3 month trip and in preparation for that I obtained license 1 and 2 and did coastal navigation. At that time you were already modern if you had a device that gave you GPS coordinates so that you could draw your location on a paper map with a pencil. Although that was a long time ago, it is useful that I have acquired that basis at the time. At the same time, those who don't have that experience also reach any shore they want.

[@sm6wet]

@@Frank-cr1uy Thank you Frank. It is interesting to see that we have different rules within Europe. Sweden is a bit different. They recently tried to change the rules to a 15m rule in Sweden but the outcome was only to determine the difference between when a boat needs to be registered or not, and had absolutely no relevance in the licensing. Just for reference in Sweden, anyone, regardless of age or any kind of license can captain a boat that is below the combination size of 12 meters long and 4 meters wide without any license. That means if you have a boat that is 200 meter long and 3.98 meters wide you can sail or drive it without any license. First license is Förarbevis, it basically means "Drivers Evidence" and is a form of drivers license. It does however have or give you any permissions at all. There is no requirement to have this for captaining any kind of boat, no police will look for it. It is just a form of proof of competence. The only thing is, in order to take the next step. To take the "Kustskeppare" - Coastal skipper, you need the first one and a few hours of practical experience that is signed off in order to be eligible for the next step, Kustskeppare. Now, the Kustskeppare gives you basically all you need to captain a non-commercial vessel of any size and gross-tonnage (with a twist) as long as it is for private use and it has less than 12 passangers. Any boat/ship of any size having more than 12 passangers is automatically considered being in commercial use and than it is needed "Fartygsbefäl Klass VIII", meaning Ships officer class 8. The gross tonage is a bit of a gray area. Yes, you can drive any size weight of boat you like. Only there is regulations of what gross tonnage needed when going into harbour when you need to use a local support pilot or not. And when using a pilot you would need a "Fartygsbefäl Klass VIII". There is also an older type of license that is not given anymore called "Kustskepparexamen", meaning Coast skipper exam. It basically covers all up to "Fartygsbefäl Klass VIII". An no other license is needed. Then we have the same rules about VHF licensing. One need to be licensed to operate a marine VHF. However you can listen to it without a license. You also have to pay an annual fee just to own a VHF. Since AIS and also Ebirp is considered a VHF you need to have a license to have one as well which is kind of strange as it is safety equipment There is an additional license for a marine SSB with additional fees to pay to the telecom authorities. You can als take extra classes and exams to use radar. Now, radar can be used without the certificate but then you dont know the rules. There are rules, like example at fog, if you have a radar, you must use it. Failure to do so can give fines. If you have not studied the radar rules you will get fined for various things. There are many more types of certificates but mainly, if you take the Swedish inter coastal you can basically sail anything of size, as long as it is private use, around the world.

[@sm6wet]

@@MVLadyLiselot It is interesting how they consider the swim platform and anchor part of the boat. To my understanding, in most countries, anything that is removable should not affect the overall length but then, one is always under the power of the ideas of how the authorities interprets the rules, and the rules are often very vaguely written. I was once looking at a boat that was 23.97, but it was without the nearly 2m long swim plattform. The shipyard says it is no problem but if the Swedish authorities have their own ideas I end up with a ship and not a boat and it is going to be so much more regulations and red tape and annual inspections that it was just not worth it for me. We have classes for manuvering for high speed boats but not sure there are regulations yet. They are trying to enforce some kind of regulations mainly because there have been some accidents with jetskis hitting people swimming far out on open water, duh. But cant seem to find the rules. I do think they are talking about something much more than 20kmh. In 22 May comes the new rules. The only rule was from 2019 where you have to be 15 years old to drive a jetski, nothing about other boats. Those who have any of the other boating certificate classes are however excempt from this new "speed license" that is mainly for jetskis.

I can imagine that you say so! That's the power of editting (or not?!).

Besides that I only show the talk and not the moments we looked forward, as in the scarry movie.
