If anyone has actually been to Canada in an undocumented boat with US
state registration, would you please let me know. Steve has me worried
with his post reply that he heard somewhere that documentation is
necessary. I spent quite a while on the www.cbsa.gc.ca site today but
couldn't find an answer. You can speak to someone but it's like waiting
for tech support.

I'm sure I would have heard of this if it was the case but things change
constantly with border security now and I'd hate to find out too late to
get the documentation.

Try pinging Jeff over at alt.sailing.asa. He's the only one I know of
who's lame enough to even want to sail to Canada. But, seems like I
remember he was up there a couple years ago. He's got a smallish catamaran
and I don't think he can get it documented. Not enough space inside
(tonnage) probably.

I have but it was quite awhile ago.

Try calling 1-800-CAN-PASS

I believe that is still the check in number when going to Canada.
You're more likely to have trouble coming back into the US.

Roger,
I don't sail to Canada, I sail in Canadian waters, Lake Ontario at present, and
often see US boats with State Registration tied up in areas I go. I also know
Canadians who travel to the US and their boats are registered Provincially.

There are no provincially registered boats in Canada. All the #'s
indicate port and the letter the province. The new #'s are probably
just to conform to computer fields. Boats are registered with Canada
Customs.
Any US boat with occupants that can cross by land without problems,
shouldn't have any arriving by water.

True, I should have said licensed provincially. However, that does not change
anything else. I used the term registered as the US members seem to use
documented for our registered and registered for our licensed.

Both registration and licensing are federal matters - the provinces
don't deal with boat documentation, of whatever form, at all.
(However, they are apparently advised by the federal authorities when
boats change hands, so that the provinces can collect sales tax.) The
license numbers do indicate the location of the licensing office.

Roger ,, boats out on the Great Lakes go into Canada all the time. Why
don't you just do a Google search of a marina near the Canadian border.
Look up .. wait .. I can look it up for you ..

http://www.irishboatshop.com/


Check the web site for the Irish boatyard. They aren't far from the
Canadian border up on Lake Michigan.

Give em a call... they will tell you anything you may need to know.. very
nice folks.

to clear the waters...

registration(federal) in Canada = documentation(federal) in the US
licensing in a province of Canada = registration in a state of the US
Confusing?... perhaps yes

The paranoia you experience in the States with respect to "border security" will not be a concern when
you come north. Our idea of border security involves some way of getting some of you wacky yankees to
understand that you'll still be safe here if you leave your ****ING HANDGUNS at home. If your boat is
registered, you'll be fine.

In your case, the issue of importance will be returning to the former land of the free and the home of
the brave. Having visited a country which shamefully employs children in the production of snowballs,
the latest and perhaps most sinister form of WMD, for 10 months of the year, not having correct
documentation upon your return, could be... problematic

soooo...Cap'n Long...been to Canada eh?....let's just have a little lookie in the freezer shall we?
