I am presently at a Parks Canada mooring. I was approached by the warden and told a maximum of 40’ on all moorings. I explained the 40’ yacht near me weighed twice as much and was even longer LOA. He knew this but has to go by the numbers on the boat. Hmmm, he said I was OK for tonight but now I have a new project. Will be lettering my boat 40CMY.

Took a turn as harbour master recently and learned that you can pretty much throw any number at the cashier at the time of payment.
so I'd feel very free to stick a 38' logo on the side.
after all. mine has a 26 on the side and was later renamed 28 sedan. What grows can shrink....

Reminds me of the 9.9hp registration limit. Ran around with a 9.9 sticker on a 15hp Jonhson outboard forever, in fact my dad’s aluminum 12’ boat still has this.
