If anyone has seen my other thread, I plan on getting a 16 or 18 foot non-motorized sailboat. In MA where I live, registration is not required for non-motorized sailboats. However, in NH, registration is required for anything 12' and over (or something like that). The law also states that out of state registrations may be used in NH waters for no more than 30 consecutive days.

Can I legally operate a non-registered sailboat in NH for less than 30 days, since registration is not required in MA?

Thanks.
