Act (which enables the regulations to provide that specified kinds of vessels are required to have specified safety certificates), a regulated Australian vessel that is a yacht ≥24 m in length must have a Certificate of Compliance (large yacht).
Note 1   It is an offence under sections 103 and 104 of the Navigation Act if a vessel is taken to sea without a required safety certificate in force for the vessel.
Note 2   A training vessel ≥24 m in length may also be required to hold a Certificate of Compliance (large yacht) — see definition of yacht in section 4.
Note 3   A yacht ≥24 m in length will also be required to hold a certificate mentioned in Marine Order 31 (SOLAS and non-SOLAS certification) 2019. It may also be required to have other certificates under other Marine Orders — see Table 1 to the Australian National Annex.

8 Applying for Certificate of Compliance (large yacht)
       (1) For subsection 99(1) of the Navigation Act (which enables a person to apply to an issuing body for a safety certificate specified in the regulations), a Certificate of Compliance (large yacht) is a safety certificate.
       (2) Division 3 of Marine Order 1 (Administration) 2013 (other than section 17) applies to an application to AMSA for a Certificate of Compliance (large yacht).
Note   Division 3 of Marine Order 1 (Administration) 2013 prescribes some general rules about the making and determination of various kinds of applications. Section 17 of that Order provides for internal review of decisions about applications. That section does not apply to safety certificates because those decisions are reviewable under subsection 313(1) of the Navigation Act.

10 Conditions on Certificate of Compliance (large yacht)
        For paragraph 100(2)(a) of the Navigation Act, a Certificate of Compliance (large yacht) is subject to the condition that the vessel, its equipment and appliances are maintained to comply with the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code as modified for Australia.
Note   An issuing body may impose other conditions on a safety certificate — see paragraph 100(2)(b) of the Navigation Act.

11 Endorsement of Certificate of Compliance (large yacht)
