RYA campaign on poorly marked fishing floats

The RYA is running a campaign to gather hard evidence of incidents with poorly marked fishing floats. Full details of the reasons behind it are on their website, so are not repeated here. Yachtsmen are urged to report any incidents directly to the RYA by contacting RYA Cruising on 0845 345 0370 or by emailing cruising@rya.org.uk . An alternative means of reporting the incident confidentially is to contact the Confidential Hazardous Incident Reporting Programme (CHIRP) which has agreed to participate in this RYA Safety initiative. CHIRP forms are downloadable from the RYA website http://www.rya.org.uk [and can be sent by FREEPOST].
