Hull Identification Number
The United States Coast Guard has established
a universal system of numerically recognizing ves-
sels by using a hull identification number or “HIN.”
This number identifies 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 domestically uses 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 loca-
tion. This second HIN is useful to authorities if the
vessel is stolen and/or the original transom HIN is
modified or eliminated.
Vessel Float Plan
Formulate a float plan before departing. Leave it
with a responsible person who will notify the Unit-
ed 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 float plan and use one each
time you go boating. This will help people know
where to find you should you not return on sched-
ule. Do not file the float plan with the United States
Coast Guard.
