If you do use channel 37, then by law you must have a licence,or be supervised by someone who has... 

Ofcom think differently:

Channels M and M2 (157.850 and 161.425 MHz) are simplex channels. As these channels are not international channels, users need not hold a Maritime Radio Operators' Certificate of Competence and Authority to Operate .

I know we were talking about private channels, though I do accept that I assumed that we were talking about VHF (I suspect correctly). My point was that there is no certification advantage in not using Ch37 - it's intended for exactly this sort of purpose, and is more likely to be monitored by the RNLI than a private one (which was what was being discussed above), and less likely to lead you into interesting legal issues about bandwidth use.

The issue you face in either case is what do you do when an uncertified crew are on a motor boat, as if frequently the case for us, and a serious emergency arises. Our view is that if they need to use Ch16 they should and they or the Club are unlikely to face sanction if they do in that situation. Thankfully, we've never had to test this out!

You are correct, to a degree... If you do use channel 37, then by law you must have a licence,or be supervised by someone who has...

But we are talking about a private channel, and we do not know for sure, that we are discussing VHF..... Although, I suspect we are....

They are also tuned to the private channel by a commercial company. One reason I think we use  this is because most of our members do not hold a valid VHF licence and it is not needed for a private channel.

You don't need a personal VHF licence to use CH37, though you do need a boat licence.

I am sure we have checked with Ofcom and/or the RYA. Not sure as I have not been fully involved. They are also tuned to the private channel by a commercial company. One reason I think we use  this is because most of our members do not hold a valid VHF licence and it is not needed for a private channel.
 
We can still contact the RNLI using the other channels you mention as they are not blocked in any way. Despite being a sea sailing club we still only use a very small area of water.
