Hi,
I’m trying to get my sailboat in Mauritius but, seem to get stuck on the requirements and classification of the boat. My sailboat is seen as a “pleasure craft” which is actually the same as a the classification of a big yacht. The boat I wish to bring with me is a 14” dinghy (GP14). It is an open sailboat without a motor. If it hadn’t a mast it could have fallen under a rowboat.

The problem is , that apparently, according to the Mauritian Tourism Authorities, the boat is falling in the category of yachts and or motorized boats, for which I require a skippers licence, something I have never needed or have for using this boat.

Can someone please assist me on how I need to go about with these requirements and what of these are really required?
