Ej: Regulations and Standards
Share This Post
What is the difference between a regulation and a standard?
The difference between a standard and a regulation lies in compliance. While conformity with standards is voluntary, regulations are mandatory.
Why do I need to be certified?
All industries share the responsibility to minimise risk and preserve life, the yachting industry is no different. Although it is only mandatory for commercial vessels, it has become standard practice for privately owned vessels too as the moral obligation to look after the boats crew still remains. In the highly unlikely event of an accident, having LEEA approved certification demonstrates you have done what is reasonably practical to ensure that globally recognised health and safety standards were upheld.
My equipment was not installed / manufactured to a standard, can you certify it to EU standards?
If we are not the original manufacturer, we are not able to take on the responsibility of the manufacturer by creating a declaration of conformity. We can provide tests, products and certification with CE marks if the item in question was manufactured to conform to those standards and regulations.

Some checks can be done from a bosun’s chair. Others are only done properly with the mast ashore, resting on trestles at eye level. Unstepping is one of those jobs many owners keep postponing, until a problem forces it in a hurry and in the middle of the season.
In this guide we look at when unstepping makes sense, what gets inspected with the mast down and how to plan it so your winter refit runs smoothly.
Rod vs Wire vs Composite Rigging: Choosing the Right Standing Rigging
Sooner or later, every owner and captain faces the re-rig question: stay with wire, move to rod, or go composite? There is no single right answer. Each material brings genuine advantages and trade-offs, and they are worth understanding before you ask for a quote.
In this guide we compare the main types of standing rigging from a rigger’s point of view: how they behave under sail, what maintenance they need, how long they last and which boats and programmes they suit best.
