From 11 July this year, HM Coastguard’s CG66 safety identification scheme will have transferred to RYA SafeTrx for all Search and Rescue (SAR) operations within UK territorial waters. Enhanced functionality is available when SafeTrx is used in conjunction with an optional mobile app. RYA SafeTrx is free, irrespective of RYA membership.
More information about RYA SafeTrx is available here.
Registration with SafeTrx can be established in either of two ways:-
Existing information on the CG66 database will be retained and used by Search and Rescue alongside SafeTrx data for the next two years. Register with SafeTrx if your current CG66 information is no longer valid.
Contact CG66.Enquiries@mcga.gov.uk to remove your existing information from the current CG66 database.
