Here's a dopey question for someone who knows the answer. I've lost my wallet-sized NH boater license, but do have the 8 1/2 x 11", NH boater education certifcate that shows that I passed the course with a great big score of 98, (wow!), and I keep in it a glass and wood picture frame screwed to the inside of a large door on my boat. I figure, that if stopped. I just open the door and point to the framed certificate and totally astonish the MP that I got a 98, especially after violating the east-west-north-south, spar marker passage rule, or something.
But Officer.....this sailboat is only 11' 11 3/4" in length, and the rudder does not get added into the measurement, so....therefore...it does not require a registration......& thanks very much for stopping me!
