an avenue for alternative design and arrangements. We can meet owners needs while not budging on what makes us a quality flag for quality owners – our consistently high standards.
‘We were all keen to work with builders and owners to achieve the results and – of course – the yachts that they want.’
Peter Southgate agrees: ‘This Code was about providing the right parameters for designers while maintaining the right balance of goal-based standards. There had to be prescription of course, but without stifling the work of designers.’
The new REG Code represents a new era, a reflection of the close collaborative work which is consistently created through the work of both individual members, the Technical Forum and the Red Ensign Group’s conference.
It combines the expertise from across the REG and will continue to draw on it to keep the Code at
its full potential and to make sure there is technical consistency across the British Ship Registers.
Sir Alan Massey, chief executive of the Maritime & Coastguard Agency who will co-chair this year’s 30th anniversary REG Conference, said: ‘This Code sets the benchmark for the standards we expect from yacht builders, while giving them the chance to exercise the creativity that will bring some exciting new designs to these vessels.
‘The new Yacht Code is a credit to the Red Ensign Group and testament to the work which makes it such an influential force across the maritime world. The Large Yacht industry is one of the most innovative sectors in the maritime industry, and the Code had to be drafted in a way that would fully support that spirit of innovation.
‘Our constant work to keep the Code in step with the latest expectations of safety and innovation will reinforce the REG’s position as a world leader in yacht certification, with the REG Code as the leading quality standard for the industry.’
