American Registration
Help!! My bank manager wants to know as soon as possible whether my CD30 Dayspring is still actually currently registered in the US. I know the hull has number 875883 on it in large black numbers. Can anyone tell me how to find out on the web??
Thanks alot in anticipation.

Here is a link to USCG database by number: http://www.st.nmfs.gov/st1/commercial/l ... ssels.html
I'll do a quick search myself, just in case.

Good luckMurray Glue wrote: Murray, If your boat is a documented vessel this number will represent it's USCG Doc. #. This can be confirmed thru The US Coast Guard's National vessel Documentation Center located in Falling Waters, WV. 25419 Help Phone # (304)271-2400--(800)799-8362. If your boat is not Documented that number probably represensts some state registration. Most state reg. numbers usually have some letters either preceding or following the number. I'm sure you can access this on the net but I do not have the site info. You might try USCG for furthur info. The Canadian registration system is different, but I don't have any info on exactly how they work.

Re: American Registration
Murray,
I just did a quick search of the site: uscg.mil/services and could't find a reference to Dayspring or to the number painted on you hull. I would think that if you haven't renewed the Documentation in many years, it has probably disappeared. You would have received a letter from the USCG asking if you wanted to continue being Documented.I suspect Sir, that you are truly a FOREIGN vessel........sorry....I remain Sir, Your most HUMBLE servant...........

you may not realize that vessels here can either be registered with the federal government through USCG documentation, which has to be renewed annually, or through whatever state government the vessel is in (which also has to be renewed regularly) - if your CD has been in New Zealand for years, it is extremely unlikely that it is still registered anywhere here

Re: American Registration
As I understand it, U.S.C.G. documentation is not transferable, and is only available to U.S. citizens. So if Dayspring is currently registered, you would have had to have done it, which presumably you would recall. If there was a previous owner who documented her, that lapsed with the transfer of ownership. If you are a Kiwi as opposed to a U.S. citizen, then again, there is no current documentation.
Re: Murray, did ya know....???
Captain Glue,
Did you know Sir, that you can obtain a 6 months cruising pass to allow you to enter any U.S. Port(after clearing through the first one) without going through the Customs hassle? I noticed it in the pre-amble to the latest U.S. Coast Pilot.
For what I think you are anticipating, this may be a way to do it! Your HUMBLE servant Sir,........
