I've heard that argument before - that because the 1995 Act only talks about time-restrictions in the context of continuous cruisers, it does not impose any restrictions on other boats. That's true up to a point - it doesn't impose any *new* restrictions on non-cc boats. But the blanket restriction I referred to was in force long before the 1995 Act. I've known about it from the 1970s, and (assuming it had any legal force then, such as from the 1948, 1963 or 1967 Acts or regulation-making powers that might have been given to BW in any of them) have not heard of it being repealed.
