Unless the law has been changed, registration is not required for sailboats of ANY size in Florida if they do not have an engine (other than sails, of course).

Yep, I just checked the laws, and that is true. All non-motorized vessels are exempt from from registration. However, if your boat is 16 foot or over, you are required to have a title for it (probably only important when you go to sell it). And even then, why do you need a title if you don't have to register it?

I don't think we have ever had a "title" for any of our sailboats in Florida.
