I just read on noonsite that when you cruise to France on check in you will need a certificate of competency?

Question

Can that be true? You sail a boat across the Atlantic and France wants a certificate that you are competent? What kind of certificate? Is my ASA certification in keel boat and coastal cruising and coastal navigation good enough?

This may have some of the info you need:  http://www.rya.org.uk/KnowledgeBase/boat...

I'm sure there must be an American version.
