I sailed from Fremantle to Bali, broke the record, prepared the boat ourselves, fitted new plotter/GPS, new compasses ( whisky type ) did our compass swing, surveyed our rigging ourselves PBO, and had a pleasant 5 day 23 hour sail.
No interference from anyone, safety inspection done by independent volunteer to Yachting Australia standards, no input from AMSA, no requirement to fit AIS although we had it, only external stipulation for Code 0 offshore ( open ocean ) sailing was all the life saving gear had to be SOLAS.
Aviation is ridiculously over regulated, we managed Fremantle/Bali and return, then the boat went to Hong Kong and is now in Vietnam.
