"Sydney Harbours & Marine Authority.. my yacht was a British registered ship, & as master I was entitled to take any action I deemed fit, if he committed an act of piracy by trying to board it. My response would be violent in the extreme, as permitted by law. "

That's useful information. When I enter Qld from NSW and a Police Officer shoves a breathalyzer barrel through my window , I will resist the piracy . My violence will be throwing him into the traffic.

But tying your life ring to the bow worries me , however . When your boat sinks and you jump into the ring....

Your car is a ship, & a British registered one no less Nick.

WOW.
