Of course, if you've got a paid-for mooring, either your home mooring or a stay in a marina while away from base, then you can stay there as long as you like. > what is the difference now between the normal licence and a continus cruising licence The "guidelines" for continuous cruising depend on dictionary & legal definitions of "continuous" and "cruise". The short summary is that you need to move around over a substantial (but undefined) distance rather than just potter about in one local area.

Act, the rules were that you had to declare a home base or register as continuously cruising. I had this confirmed for me by BW's legal department while what became the 1995 Act was before Parliament, along with an assurance that BW had no intention of removing the continuous cruising option. > now I suppose you can just ignore that question and say you are > continusly cruising, and if you do decide to use a marina it up > to you and it doesn't matter ?? You can, but BW will get difficult if you spend all or most of your time in one local area.
