Pope Valley is a real haul, up behind Napa. If anyone is interested in that boat, I would make sure you confirm by phone the trailer is roadworthy--few or no auto repair shops between there and Davis or St Helena.

I wonder how much the Lightening weighs. Compared to a Lightning for example :)
Click to expand...

Class weight for the Lightning is 700 lbs, of which 130 is the centerboard... IIRC

It's pretty easy to build a strong stiff Lightning hull at far less than 570 lbs, or stiffen an old one. I did a rebuild job on a 1960s Allen. The 1970s/80s ones were often built with core that would soak up water.

IMHO the Lindsay FD is the pick of that litter; is it worth the money plus disposing of the Lightning?

Repatriating the FD is the main problem. Bringing a Boat back into the States that does not have a U.S. Title in hand is impossible.

Canada did not require that FD to be 'Registered & Titled' like here in the U.S. ,
Most Canadians don't do it (Why spend the Money).

So what needs to be done is:
1. Current Canadian Owner needs to Register the Boat (This is done Online) also Order a Title. Then Cancel the Registration upon the Sale of the Boat.

2. You must have a Bill of Sale executed by Buyer and Seller (Notarized in Canada)

3. If you are bringing in a Trailer as well, then the Trailer alone needs to be weighed at a Certified Scale.

4. Have the Canadian Owner send you the Registration & Title, The Bill of Sale, and the Scale Receipt., via Mail.

5. Make Copies !!! Triplicate.

6. Take the Papers to your County DMV and Register and Title the Vessel. also buy the Trailer Plates. The complete Paper Trail.

7. Your ready to go to Canada and get your Boat, Take duplicate Copies with you, because you will need them at the Boarder when entering the U.S. ,

8, At the Boarder you will pull aside and take your papers into the Office, If all the applicable Taxes have been paid (You Paid them when you Registered & Titled the Boat & Trailer at the DMV) you may pay a little fee or nothing at all.

The purpose of all this is mainly the Respective Authorities get their Taxes and to make sure the Boat & Trailer are not Stolen.

Getting the Registrations & Titles take about 1-2 months (Canada is incredibly slow at this, the U.S. is the normal amount of time).

Been there Done that. - Good Luck-

It's about that bad to re-title a trailer in CA. I once spent several months dealing with DMV trying to title a trailer that was "out of the system"--I finally just used it for 15 years unregistered.

How would you register a boat purchased from from someone in a state that neither titles nor registers sailing dinghies?

It's actually quite easy as we encounter that problem here in Utah all of the time. The DMV will register the boat if you explain to them that the boat came from a state where they don't register sailboats without motors (Mass.) or sailboats under 16ft. (Wash. or Mich.). Sometimes they tell you that all sailboats in all states need to be registered but the answer is no, they don't. My International 210 sat on a town controlled mooring for many years, never registered or titled, because sailboats that don't have motors don't need to be in Mass. There's no way you can be on a town mooring without being registered, if you need to be.
