Yup. They selll these plastic boards to stick your numbers onto.
Attach the boards to your dinghy.
Some plastics are like that. I couldn't keep mt N.H. decals on my
windsurfer. I think it's polyethylene. Ended up putting one on mt
fibreglass mast.

Yeah, but Bill put a 75HP Merc on the windsurfer!
I put one of those boards on my Zodiac- then one of the crew rolled
it up with the plates still attached OOOOPS.
Then I bought rubber numbers- they looked like the same material as
the inflatable. The glue they suggested was like crazy-glue, I think,
and even tho the surface prep was overdone (acetone softened up the
surface) the numbers peeled off over a couple of years. I guess it's
time for Black Magic Marker... tho I have seen paint-on number kits.

| All sailboats over 12' in N.H. have to be registered.
The chief of the Marine Patrol allowed as to how I would be forgiven
if I didn't put the numbers on the board but that I would be cited
if I was checked and didn't have proper registration documentation
at least in my vehicle.
I know of the Marine Patrol stopping windsurfers and putting the
tape measure on them so see if they were over 12' or not.
Of course I also have to register my Sunfish. It's 14' long.
And my 20' Com-Pac Yacht

| 2217.5 | How about in MA? | TOOK::OWEN | | Mon Jun 12 1995 15:50 | 3 |
| Anybody know the policy in MA? Or who to contact for the definitive
answer? I have having a hard time finding out what is required for
my 16' sailboat.

| As I recall, the numbers need to be at 3" high and on both sides of the bow.
They must? be block letters. They may be painted or applied.
I had bought mine from SPAGS. Just put them on the gel coat. I never had any
trouble.

| re .5
no motor? then you don't need numbers for that 16 footer. When Weld
came and threw all the clowns out, some went north to work for N.H.
;>) ;>)
measuring windboards, give me a break. Who is going to read them when
a guy is on a beam reach.....

| On the 16' sailboat, I went through the same thing about 8 or 9 years
ago when I tried to figure how to register my 470. Without a motor I didn't
need any sort of registration for the boat. There are even note in her with
me asking the same questions back in 1987.
As for the dinghy numbers. I have the plastic plates with contrasting
numbers and the registration sticker on one of them. I just have to remember
which one to put on port. They work okay, but can be a pain. I have them
hanging with string. I saw something recntly that gave me the idea to
tack some velcro on the boat and the numbers and attach it like that. I
haven't tried it yet, but I'll give it a try at some point.

| Be careful of velcro as it loses a significant amount of holding power
when wet.
