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—
a.Once in every year for examination and endorsement;
b.On a change of master, for the same to be noted thereon.
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.
