.... and for sailboats less than 12' long, which are exempt from needing a NH registration sticker as long as they have no motor, I assume the rudder is not included when measuring the length of the hull ....... correct?

By not including the rudder as part of the hull, I wonder how much money is not collected each year ...... hmmmmm ...... a rudder on a small sailboat probably extends for three feet...and each small sailboat costs about $30 to register .... and the new MP HQ in Gilford is costing something like 8-million dollars.

In about 2011, the legislature thought they were doing good when the car reg fee was cut by about 30-dollars, and now the Meredith Neck Rd, which is a state owned road, is falling apart.

So's ....just shows to go.....by including the rudder as an inherent part of the here-to-fore 11'10" hull ..... funding the new MP-HQ for 8-mil should be easy-peasy ..... anchors away!
