Where Is My Boat Registered?

[Manic Moore]

 

I guess I should know this but would my boat be registered. Would it just be the UK from manufacturer?

since 1997 boats manufactured in Europe have a HIN in the transom and also in an undisclosed position within the structure - the manufacturer will have records.

 

prior to that many manufacturers had hull numbers on the boat but they ofter got lost and or the manufacturers records got lost!

There is a number starting with GB. Great Britain?

Do you mean regestered at Lloyds of London? that only happens if the boat is subject to a marine mortgage ( ie very expensive). I seem to remember the value is divided into 64th and the mortgager has so-many 64th and the mortgagee has the rest.

I think you are mixing the Pt1 registration with Lloyds coding somehow?

 

Pt1 is like Pt3 (SSR) but, as you highlight, commonly used only when marine mortgages are involved or a vessel is likely to be sold abraord when the registration can be used to prove ownership and lack of any financial interest - which part 3 can't.

 

lloyds coding is used to indicate design and construction is it not?

 

Gordon - Yep looks like it. Basically Hull identification serial numbers (HIN

Don't forget to register with the Coastguard change of ownership, just in case something nasty should happen they will be able to contact your home.
