I got thru it, the TIP thing that is.
I'd like to say it's a great website, but that'd be a stretch.
some tips for TIP:
Boat serial# is HIN#
First Last Name is your middle name, where Second Last Name is your last name.
And "Other" is buried in the middle of the boat model list.
Region is Baja, not Baja Sur (south)
If this is all correct, I got it right.
NOSA has the link under links now.

Too late to change anyone's plans to go or not
But if you are going or perhaps some Food for Thought for Next year:

Get to know the people, vernacular, foods, customs and places frequented by the locals. To find these travel treasures, Jorge goes further than the tourist traps. There’s a lot to learn and fun to have right next door by CROSSING SOUTH.

not confiscated, embargoed.
And they stopped all that a month ago.

I want to know when the surf board "embargo" scare is going to get started. I would love for all the gringo surfers to stop traveling down to K38 for fear of having their boards seized.

A tip on the Ensenada TIP
For those of you who are just getting started in preparation for this year's Ensenada race, I have found the best way to deal with the Mexico Temporary Import Permit, or TIP.
If you are like me, you looked at NOSA web page and noticed that you needed this permit. Then you thought, "Yeah, right, I am just going to pass on this race." Then a couple of days went by and the thought of missing the race started to take effect and you looked at the application again.
Now just pick up the phone and call Joan Irvine at Romero's Mexico Service at (949) 548-8931. She will make this easy for you and keep you on the race course.
Now, take another deep sigh and don't invent reasons not to go on the race.
The TIP permit has been around for a long time. You just need to make sure your boat's hull number/VIN number is fixed in the bilge and matches what's on your documentation certificate or DMV registration.
What I plan on doing is calling Sign Depot at (949) 645-4123 and have them make me an engraved plastic plate, the size of a name badge, and then epoxy it in the bilge. The permit can only be in the name of the owner or a relative of the owner.
If the boat is registered with an LLC, the permit can be issued to anyone. The permit is good 10 years; don't lose it because it cannot be reissued. Next time you are on your boat make sure to check your VIN number and write down the serial number that's on your engine. You can complete your TIP permit process within three days.
This has nothing to do with your TIP permit; just remember not to bring any fishing gear. If you do, you will need more permits. If you have a Single Side Band radio you will need to show your ship station license. The whole process is very simple, and I can feel a windy race in the near future.

Thanks for that but JFC!
Import permits, documenting services, engraved plates, epoxy in the bilge, fishing gear, SSBs and young Mexican federales with guns. Don't forget to bring your US gov't issued photo IDs and passports.
Ah, for the good old days. It was a simpler, slower time when the beer tasted better and the music came from instruments.
One thing is that I don't think the vin/hull number is on the engine; I think it's on the hull.

That is way too much paperwork for something that is supposed to be fun. Enchilada is dead. Glad I did it a ton of times, but it's over. Shoot it in the head and put it out of its misery.

I agree having done the Ensenada Race 23 times starting in 1973 at the age of 14 up to 1995 (I still have some 80's hats), I got hurt shortly there after, it was so much fun to just go and sail and eat great food.
All this BS is just BS.
Please let me know what you think.

One (1) extra piece of paperwork over last year. For a requirement that's been on their books for years.
And this one piece of paper is good for 10 years.
Hardly an insurmountable obstacle, if you want to go racing.

Not NOSA's fault but this paperwork is not fun. Just invites more government into my fun. All it takes to really screw things up is some local didn't get the memo.
