Inflatable Boat Rego Numbers

Vince, this is a quote direct from this website Maritime safety QLD)
http://www.msq.qld.gov.au/Home/Registration/Recreational_ships/

Quote:

Registration symbols
Your ship will be allocated registration symbols. These must be clearly visible in plain characters in a contrasting colour to the hull of your ship.
The size of the characters depends on the type of ship and must be able to be read from a distance of 30 m away

* ships not capable of planing must have characters a minimum of 75 mm high on both sides or on the stern
* ships capable of planing must have characters a minimum of 200 mm high on both sides
* personal watercraft registration symbols must be:
o displayed on both sides
o at least 100 mm high
o easily seen while the craft is underway
end quote.

The article refers to ANY vessel as a 'ship', including inflatables tenders although there is an interesting paragraph on tenders that may interest Bill13.

Dunaruna,

Thanks for that link to the Maritime Safety. I found it very interesting and shall follow that up with a phone call to there office.
Thanks to all others who offered advise. The stern seems the best option for me to place the numbers.
