Introduction
NMMA YACHT CERTIFICATION PLATE
At the helm (dash) area you will notice a metal plate which
recognizes that your vessel was built to design compliance
in effect on the date the certifi cation was verifi ed. The plate
also states that your vessel complies with U. S. Coast Guard
safety system standards in effect on the date of certifi ca-
tion. Vessels 26’ and longer are canditates for the NMMA
Yacht Certifi cation Plate.
VESSEL INFORMATION SHEET
It is recommended that you fi ll out the information on the
following page. It will supply vital statistics on your vessel.
Make a copy of the data for safe keeping at home.
Formulate the fl oat plan on the following page before
departing. Leave it with a responsible person who will notify
the United States Coast Guard or local law enforcement
authorities if you do not return as planned. If you change
your plans be sure to notify this person. Make copies of
the fl oat plan and use one each time you go boating. This
will help people know where to fi nd you should you not
return on schedule. Do not fi le the fl oat plan with the
United States Coast Guard.
VESSEL FLOAT PLAN
The United States Coast Guard has established a universal
system of
numerically recognizing vessels by using a hull
identifi cation number or “HIN.” This number identifi es
your Regal yachts’ model, hull number, month and year of
manufacture. The HIN is normally found on your boat’s
transom, on the starboard side, just below the rub rail on
the transom vertical surface. The HIN is stamped on a plate
and reinforced with a special adhesive. The HIN consists
of 12 alpha or numeric characters.
It is recommended that you locate and write down the
HIN for future reference. It can be especially useful when
ordering parts from your Regal dealer. A second HIN
number is found in a hidden location. This second HIN
is useful to authorities if the vessel is stolen and/or the
original
transom HIN is modifi ed or eliminated.
