APPROACH TO WARSHIPS IN PLYMOUTH
Recently a yacht has been reported to have been detained for nearly an hour and questioned
quite strongly for coming within 100 metres of a warship It is said that they were
hailed but ignored the call which may be why they were detained ( obviously a bad
move ). It is said that it includes warships anchored in the Sound so extra care
may have to be taken especially when racing between warships and between them and
the breakwater. Having said all that I cannot find any changes on the internet regarding
any changes in the Dockyard regulations from 1999 which as far as I can find are
50 metres from the ships and dockside and 100 metres from submarines. June
