If you have a receipt or bill of purchase you can register under Small Ships Register very easily.

Application of the Recreational Craft Directive (RCD) only needs to happen if you have imported the boat from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and if the boat has never previously been in service (used) within the EEA and is built after 1950.
You should have a bill of sale or receipt for the purchase of the boat, or some sort of proof of transfer of ownership. This is enough to apply for the small ships register. Get an application form from +44 (0) 29 20448800.

Probably not:
1) The recreational craft directive does not apply to original, and individual replicas of, historical craft designed before 1950, built predominantly with the original materials and labelled as such by the manufacturer;
2) Craft already on the EEA market before 16 june 1998 are excempt from the directive.
But a little warning on this: if major alterations have been made to the craft, it is no longer considered an existing craft. What "major alterations" are, is not clearly defined. One thing to look foor would be a substantial change to one of the issues covered by the essential requirements in the directive, i.e. changes to the stability of the boat (changing freeboard, balast,...)
3) Same goes with boats that are CE-marked: if simply repllacing items with similar components: the CE-marking stays valid.
So if the design of the boat predates 1950, and you stick to the original design: no probs.
If the boat is post-'50s: use similar components.
But if you fit a higher rated engine, a higher mast, change to lead keel, put in hydraulic steering.... you're about to cross a fine line.

A product, which has been subject to important changes that aim to modify its original performance purpose or type after it has been put into service, may be
considered as a new product. This has to be assessed on a case-by-case basis and, in particular, in view of the objectiveof the directive and the type of products covered by the directive in question. Where a rebuilt or modified product is
considered as a new product, it must comply with the provisions of the applicable directives when it is placed on the market and put into service. This has to be verified – as deemed necessary according to the risk assessment – by
applying the appropriate conformity assessment procedure laid down by the directive in question. In particular, if the risk assessment leads to the conclusion that the nature of the hazard or the level of risk has increased, then the modified
product should normally be considered as a new product.
