Can you justify that assertion? I don't think it's true.

What Vessels Must be Registered?
All sailboats used on public waters must be registered if longer than 14 feet at the load waterline.

You can argue that a Hobie 16 is shorter than 14 feet at the waterline, but that won't keep you from being ticketed.

And from http://www.ncwildlife.org/License/Vessel_Basic_Facts.htm#q6:

What Vessels Must be Titled?
Anyone who purchases or transfers a ... sailboat 14 feet or longer ... will be required to title the vessel effective Jan.1, 2007

If the owner bought the boat or moved it to NC within the last 2.5 years, it should also be titled. The hull number is on the title, so the WRC should be able to look that up.


Yeah, The 14' waterline thing, that's it. smirk Just Kidding.
My bad.
That's a new law(2007)Used to be greater than 20' or has a motor. Doesn't seemed to be enforced around here, but a law is a law.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
