I don't find your assessment particularly at odds with my own.
I am a little concerned by Table 3 - Funding Targets on Page 17.
This shows a projected year on year increase in income from craft registration of 10% per annum. Presumably this can only come from either increased charges for current vessels, an increase in the number of registered vessels or a mixture of the two. Elsewhere it says that after the current 3 year 12%pa round of increases they propose inflation plus 2% so if inflation is 3% that would mean a 5% increase for existing licence holders and a 5% increase presumably due to new craft registrations.
5% increase in existing registration fees I can understand/accept but a 5% increase year on year in new craft registrations seems somewhat optimistic?
Or have I also got the wrong end of the boathook?
