Yachting and Boating World forums: CHIRP it!!

Great thread Kim.
This may have been mentioned previously but I would like to draw everyone's attention to the new procedure for reporting maritime incidents.

The RYA has long been campaigning for something to be done about poorly marked fishing pots and other gear. The official response has always been "Give us the evidence and we will act".
Well now you can report incidents in full confidence. The system is known as CHIRP - Confidential Hazardous Incident Reporting Programme.
If you have been involved in an incident go to www.chirp.co.uk. There you will find a form to enter all the details of your incident. It is all anonymous. You can print and snail mail, fax, telephone or e-mail the details.
The RYA's Cruising Manager is on the committee which reviews all responses so you can help yourselves, the RYA and all of us.
As well as reporting to this thread on Scuttlebut - CHIRP it as well and maybe we can get something done. Doesn't matter whether an RYA member or not.
Regards to all,
Don.
