[quote=tami][quote=matt922]Ok, so if i want to do Slip to Ship at the end of the month, just contact the person in charge at osyc, prove i have liability ins on the boat at pay the fees?[/quote]

Sure - just register the day of the race if you like.

[quote=matt922]I've been reading about insurance, which actually seems pretty reasonable from what i've been hearing..($100 or so a year).  Kinda need it anyways if i want to bring other people on the boat. [/quote]

Yes, liability is relatively inexpensive. You may have coverage via your homeowners' policy, you should check on that. Insurance is a standard regatta requirement, although unfortunately not enforced as often as it should be. Let's put it this way... if you're racing and hit a new NACRA 20 (ca. $20,000) or a carbon Supercat, A, or carbon whatever ($20-$50,000+) that insurance is gonna seem like a great deal....

[quote=matt922]How about boat registration, do all of you MS people have your boats reg'd/numbered?[/quote]

On an engine-less boat of less than 20' it's actually not required to have registration, but it really is a good idea. Having your boat registered helps the law enforcement guys if something happens offshore, if your boat drifts away from the beach (it happens with some frequency) or boat is stolen (happens with depressing frequency, just ask Bob Rashka). You can get nice looking reg. numbers cut from a decal shop reasonably cheaply, and the registration itself isn't that expensive ~30.00[/quote]
