Just to clarify the "exemption" given to Wavejets in Victoria let me lay out the facts Wavejets are STILL classified as a powered vessel and also the PWC catergory.
The exemption ONLY covers the following points
1) The do not need to be registered
2)They do not need to carry safety equipment such as flares and bailers
3) They do not need to have a licensed operator
4)They do not need to wear a lifejacket unless 400m offshore
GOT IT!!!!
They are STILL A PWC!!!!!!!
They still have to obey speed and distance rules near surfboards and swimmers. They are prohibited from entering or launching from PWC exclusion areas, such as
PT ROADNIGHT, SHOREHAM, PT LEO amongst many!!!!
Transport Safety Victoria have granted this exemption but a search of there website does not recognise any wavejet links
