RCD Status: As a yacht constructed and placed in use within EU waters before the 16^th June 1998, it is our understanding that she is therefore exempt from the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive)

Scantlings and materials used in the construction of RIVAL MISCHIEF are to Lloyd’s Register approved drawings. From build until January 2006, RIVAL MISCHIEF was also fully in class with Lloyd’s 100A1 which requires the yacht to be maintained to an ‘as new’ standard and involves frequent detailed survey inspections. This 100A1 compliance has also necessitated numerous upgrades over standard Rival Bowman specifications (Last classification survey carried out January 2005 with no faults reported).
