[Public-list] U.S. Coast Guard Documentation of an Alberg 30

[Bill Burke]

Hi Michael,
Above all, go to the USCG documentation website and complete the interactive 
form to calculate your net tonnage 
(http://www.uscg.mil/hq/msc/T3/cg5397/cg5397.form.htm) BEFORE you send 
anything in to the Coast Guard.  If you submit numbers that generate a net 
tonnage below 5 you'll dig yourself a hole that it will be difficult to get 
out of...

I'd recommend against just calling the CG and asking for average 
measurements.   Measure your boat yourself, check the numbers and you 
shouldn't have a problem.  And as you've seen from discussion on the list, 
remember that "depth" isn't draft...
