The support that the RYA has given to ensure the preservation of low duty rate on marine diesel fuel is one of the only two issues that I have taken exception to as a member over the last 20 years.
There are no ethical or envirnomental grounds to subsidise the fuel costs to pleasure boaters, on the contrary, they should perhaps be increased to make people think twice about the size of their throttle opening or,indeed the size of their engines.
I would approve of subsidies for fishing vessals etc - but pleasure boaters ? How can you justify it ? There are no safety issues involved at all.
