a Yacht or Training Vessel if:
       (a)      the vessel is a yacht or training vessel; and
       (b)      the vessel is <500 GT.
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 vessel that has a Certificate of Survey for a Yacht or Training Vessel may also be required to have other certificates under other Marine Orders — see Table 1 to the Australian National Annex for the certificate requirements for yachts.
Note 3   A vessel ≥300 GT is required to have a Cargo Vessel Safety Radio Certificate in accordance with Marine Order 31 (SOLAS and non-SOLAS certification) 2019.

16 Applying for Certificate of Survey for a Yacht or Training Vessel
       (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 Survey for a Yacht or Training Vessel 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 Survey for a Yacht or Training Vessel.
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.

17 Criteria for issue of Certificate of Survey for a Yacht or Training Vessel
       (1) For paragraph 100(1)(b) of the Navigation Act, the criteria for the issue of a Certificate of Survey for a Yacht or Training Vessel are as follows:
(a) for a yacht ≥24 m in length — the vessel, its equipment and appliances comply with the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code as modified for Australia;
(b) for any other yacht or training vessel not being a vessel mentioned in paragraph (a) — the vessel, its equipment and appliances comply with the criteria for issue of a Certificate of Survey for a Cargo Vessel under Marine Order 31 (SOLAS and non-SOLAS certification) 2019 except:
 (i) to the extent that the vessel does not comply with regulation 11 of Part B, and Part B1, of Chapter II-1 of SOLAS — the requirements of the USL Code for watertight subdivision of Class 2 vessels; and
 (ii) if the vessel is a sailing vessel — the intact stability of the vessel maybe assessed using the intact stability criteria mentioned in the following clauses of section 8C of the USL
