Hi All. I'm currently updating my nautical reference library with the
latest books on regulations and such, but I have to decide on some
building plans within the next few days and could use some
information.

I remember that boats exceeding a certain length also have to comply
to different set of Coast Guard regulations regarding equipment. For
some reason, 26' rings a bell. Since I've never owned a boat over
24', the larger boat regulations never concerned me.

Until I'm able to wade through the government web sites and pick up
some new publications, can anyone tell me what the boat lengths vs.
Coast Guard equipment regulations are?

Thanks!
