Registered Fishing Boats.
Owners and Masters of fishing boats must comply with the following rules:—
1. | Every boat used as a Fishing Boat for purposes of Sale must be registered, lettered, and numbered, as required by the Sea Fisheries Regulations. | ||||
2. | The master of every registered Sea Fishing Boat must have on board his boat at all times (unless specially exempted by the Board of Trade) the Certificate of Registry. | ||||
3. | If the Certificate is lost, immediate application must be made for another. | ||||
4. | The Certificate must be presented to the Fishery Officer—

5. | On a change of ownership, or on removal to another Collectorship, of any Registered Boat, a fresh Certificate of Registry must be applied for, and the former Certificate given up to be cancelled. |
Non-compliance with either of those regulations render the Owner and the Muster liable to a penalty not exceeding Twenty Pounds, besides the seizure and detention of the boat.
