1. Do they really bith need to be registered?
2. Do they really need to have hull numbers put on them or is a registration sticker enough??

I can't belive that people actually register sunfishes?? The "letter of the law" reads anything over 12' must be registered, but it seems rediculous. Has anyone ver seen a sunfish with hull numbers on it??
Sailboats that are 12 feet long and longer must be registered. In NH you need only display the validation decals if your sailboat is at least 12 feet long and less than 20 feet in length. You must carry your registration paper on board while using the boat. You do not need to display the registration numbers on your sailboat if it is under 20 feet, just display the validation decals.

Sailboats less than 12 feet do not need to be registered.

When in doubt, check with Marine Patrol for the most accurate information

Hope you have pleasant sailing.
