    Hi folks,

    Just returned from another delivery from Cape Town to Fort Lauderdale.
    Between the Virgin Isles and Cuba I was again boarded by the USCG. I
    have never had a problem with these boarding's and found the guys
    courteous and friendly. This time I was delivering a new 38 foot cat
    that had already been US registered (although it was still to reach US
    waters).

    However, this time I was informed by the officer of the boarding party
    that the boat had to be documented and had to display the documented
    number on the stern section of the starboard hull. Can one of our US
    folk please enlighten me as to this requirement or point me to a URL
    that explains such a requirement in a nutshell and does not give a whole
    lot of "mumbo jumbo" that you have to be a lawyer to understand.

    Thank you
