The Coast Guard's National Vessel Documentation Center provides all the
regulations, common questions, and required forms in pdf format:
http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-m/vdoc/nvdc.htm
However, if this is private yacht not involved in any commercial enterprise,
documentation should not be necessary. In fact, a 38-foot catamaran might
not be big enough to be documented even if you wanted to. There is a five
net ton minimum requirement.
Be aware that Coast Guard interpretation and enforcement of regulations such
as vessel documentation often varies dramatically from unit to unit and
region to region.
