[Rhodes22-list] Capacity plate - help!

[Eaton, Gil]

	From my Power Squadron Days I remember that capacity tags are
required on power boats, and had one next to the helm on my Sea Ray.  They
are not required on Sailboats.

Ed, I knew that question was comming and that is the one thing I cannot 
answer without looking at the exact wording of the law.  Hopefully A.S.A. 
was thorough when they included that information.  I cover so many things 
during the class (combination safeboating/learn to sail class) that we don't

dwelve too deeply into many non-sailing related issues.  The CG puts out a 
neat little brochure on regulations each year - It may be covered in there 
as well.  Bob
