My boat length is showing up on AIS as 18m.

I had a good walk round last week and it is not - in fact I think its just half that.
Before the lovely Fraser from Ardfern starts doing his invoices for the winter berth - how can I change this?

There are claims and there are facts, no one believes the claims. I am sure your diminutive status is understood by those who need to know. As for AIS voyeurism, well, what's wrong with letting them believe your larger?

I apologise that I can't actually help you solve your problem.

When you're old and have arthritis
When your bowels have got colitis
When you've galloping bollickitis
And you're thinking its time you died
When you've been a man of action
And you're lying there in traction
You can gain some satisfaction
Thinkin "fekkit - at least I tried"

Cant help with the invoicing, but I find AIS works best as a collision avoidance tool if you change the vessel type from sailing to either Military Ops or Tanker.
