Anexo texto en ingles con cita del Jefe de
GuardaCostas de los USA. donde señala, a fin de cuentas, que los programas
de certificacion de flotacion empleados por los fabricantes de embarcaciones, si
bien se apegan a los estandres de USCOSTGUARD y de la NMMA, no dejan de
ser AUTO APLICADOS por los mismo fabricantes..
Razón de mas para que la Capitania de puerto
aplique sus propios criterios
No, and here's the first time we hear the phrase "self-certification," which we'll be using often. "For the most part," says Philip J. Cappel, Chief of the U.S. Coast Guard Recreational Boating Product Assurance Division, "the flotation program is self certification by the manufacturer, and we don't really have a lot of enforcement teeth. We do have a program where we buy boats and test them for the flotation standards, but the boats we buy don't have a good record. That's because we've gotten very good at knowing which boats are likely to fail so we don't spend our money buying boats that will pass. It's a good use of taxpayer dollars to only buy the ones we think will fail." The Coast Guard has also initiated programs with
manufacturers to donate boats for the testing process, which allows even more
testing. But the bottom line is that, in most cases, the manufacturer is the one
who certifies that the boat will float level
