    I have seen a few articles recently of new regulations affecting new yachts. Can anyone summarize and explain how it may affect the industry ?

    A brief summary would be that new yacht regs are taking a page from their larger commercial bretheren and have to do with construction, crew requirements, etc. The video link below deals specifically with a couple of the more important aspects.....
