In some provinces...such as Nova Scotia, you can own a boat without

I have an 18' 6" Sandpiper 565 mini cruiser trailerable sailboat with
6hp Evinrude and it is not registered.

It's the same in BC. I think this actually a federal
regulation across Canada

Yes - despite Marley's claims elsethread, vessel licensing is a
federal matter.

However, I understand that some canal systems in Ontario may require
that _all_ vessels, regardless of horsepower, must be licensed - but
that is a local requirement.
