52 Offence to allow a non-licensed person to be the master of a registered recreational vessel
(1) The owner of a registered recreational vessel must not cause or allow another person to be the master of that vessel unless that person is the holder of a marine licence.
(2) It is a defence to a charge under this section if the owner reasonably believes that the person held the appropriate marine licence which (as the case requires) is endorsed with the appropriate licence endorsement.
