🛡️ 1. The Truth About CE-Marking and Vessel Condition
🗣️ The Myth: "The yacht is CE-marked from the factory, so it is 100% flawless and safe."

A CE plaque does not prevent wear, fatigue, or dangerous aftermarket installations. It accounts for zero hidden structural damage from groundings. Many vessels also carry non-compliant paperwork.
