[Rhodes22-list] Capacity plate - help!

[Jim Connolly]

I think that there is a formula for calculating it that the Coast Guard will
accept.  I don't have it, but recall seeing it on some home-built boats
site.  A quick Google search provided the following:

Good luck

Hey Guys:

Stan needs some help here.  Stan asked me this question shortly after Mark
asked him.  

I called the local Coast Guard office.  I was transferred to the district
office. I was told to call Washington.

I called Washington several times on different days.  It was a waste of time
and effort.  While somebody answered the initial call, I was always
transferred to another number.  Sometimes I got an answering machine and
left a message.  Sometimes I was transferred to a non answering number and
would have to start all over.

Email did not work.  I tried local and national email addresses.  Most of
the emails came back from their server with some sort of notation that it
could not be delivered.  A couple went out and had no response.  Most of the
returns indicated it was not acceptable to their system even though it was
submitted as a question on their national site according to their format.

If you guys have a moment, see what you can do.  Maybe one of us can get
through and get a correct reply.

One reply I did get was ask the manufacturer.

I mentioned a while back that I have brought my R22 into Canada. In Canada,
I am required to get a "capacity plate"/ pleasure craft safety label" from
Transport Canada. 
Two questions:
1) Does anyone know if there are any other R22's in Canada and how I can
find the owners?
2) In the USA, do you need a coast guard capacity plate/ sticker or
compliance label - does anyone have a photo or the details of their capacity
plate.

Thanks
