SA Sailing is authorised to do safety inspections and issue CoF’s for recreational vessels less than 100 GT provided they are registered in South Africa.

To get a COF your vessel has to be listed with SA Sailing and inspected by an SA Sailing Safety Officer or a "SAMSA approved SA Sailing appointed Safety Surveyor" (referred to as a SA Sailing Vessel Safety Surveyor).

Please note that for safety inspections conducted from 1 July 2021, SA Sailing can only issue a CoF or a notification of completion of survey if the vessel has a current Hull Inspection Certificate or if the safety inspection is conducted with the vessel on a trailer.
