Boat Name

[petem]

I've finally got round to filling in the form to complete our Part 1 Registration.

A couple of queries.

1) I thought there was a new process for submitting a Part 1 registration that allowed docs etc to be uploaded. I don't think I imagined this. Does anyone have any details?

2) Our boat was originally called "Andiamo of Littlehampton" and is currently on the SSR with the name "Andiamo". The boat was once on the Part 1 register under the name "Andiamo of Littlehampton" and port of "Poole" but this lapsed a few years ago.

I don't have any affinity with Littlehampton but I guess it was added to make the name unique. Whilst I'm pretty confident that the name "Andiamo of Littlehampton" is unique (it's not on MARS), I do need to give the MCA some alternative names. I'm happy to keep the name "Andiamo" so do I just give the MCA some alternative versions e.g. "Andiamo of Southampton", "Andiamo of London", etc?

Also, what do I complete for "Port of Choice"? Does it have to be a UK port or can I specify a foreign one (e.g. Palma, Sant Carles, etc)?

Finally, at what point do you have to 'carve' the vessel and what does this carving / plate look like on a GRP boat. Is it possible that the boat is still carved from the old Part 1 reg (the vinyl name on the back just said "Andiamo")?

If you just want uniqueness add a letter at the end and "drop it" in practice. As you know my boats were called Match Q and Match Z until Match finally became available on part 1 register. So use Andiamo A and do the A in vinyl with the rest in S/S to de emphasise the A. The letter cannot be a Roman numeral c d l m v x.

Port must be off a list of uk ports on mca website. About 30 choices. I picked london. As you cruise you fill in lots of forms at port offices. London is easy and all officials can spell it.

Carve and mark isn't policed hard. You can dremel it into a piece of wood or plastic say 100mm x 60mm and screw that to e/room bulkhead. Whatever. Nobody cares Pete. You self certify that it has been done

It’s a bit more than 30 choices for the port.
More like 116, if I have the right doc:

Hayling Island is not on the list

Pete, for balance, you could try a larger Hampton? ��

and what does this carving / plate look like on a GRP boat.

On ours, I popped down to the local shoe menders shop where they supply bespoke laminate engraving.
For just a few quid they made a nice laminate plate that I screwed onto the boat.
I suppose it should have been riveted but "Hey Ho".
Looks professional.

What goes on the carved plate. Just name and ssr?

there are a few forumites ie female say stick with litttttttttle

 

[Whitelighter]

Do what JFM says.

Seralia is actually Seralia F on the register. You can spit the F on the name on the boat if you look hard enough

 

[NoIllusion]

What goes on the carved plate. Just name and ssr?

Registration number and tonnage.

You don't need 'carving' or any of that nonsense for SSR.

I'll try that the next time I'm passing

Registration number and tonnage.

Not the name?

My 'Addiamo' letters are only about 75mm. I'll have to make the 'F' or whatever about 20mm!

Also, for Part 1 do you need to display the Port?

Finally, how did you know 'Match' had become available?

 

[Whitelighter]

You could call her Andiamo i then invert the i on the name to make an exclamation mark, since in Italian I gather it is said with such emphasis

Good thinking batman!

Not making this up: I used to know a man called Hugh Jones who lived in the relatively untroubled village of Little Coxswell

Honestly.

I did, too

:encouragement:

Although they may not allow i, v, x, as they are Roman numerals.
If it's a lower case i though you might get away with it as it does not represent the Roman numeric

You may want to spell check the name though !

What tonnage though ? Displacement; Deadweight; Gross; Thames; etc

Does Part 1 still require an official measuring by a qualified measurer, even for a previously registered boat (in case it has shrunk or grown) ?

1. So do that. There is a min height for p1 letters but isn't enforced.
2. Yes with p1 you must display the port. Again, little letters
3. Contacts

gross tonnage, and yes it needs measuring (so called tonnage survey)
