Always wondered. What happens if your own vessel doesn't have a name? A
small sportsboat owner might not bother to give his boat a name but
still own a radio..?

Use your state vessel registration number.

Ah, but that doesn't apply in the UK where we need no registration at
all for the sea and if I gave out my local lake registration when on the
sea, it would mean nothing to anyone else. Sure I could just make up a
name, but I wondered if there was any proper procedure...
