Registered Length


Means either 96 percent of the length on a waterline at 85 percent of the least molded depth measured from the top of the flat keel,
or
the length from the fore side of the stem to the axis of the rudder stock on that waterline,
whichever is greater. In vessels designed with a rake of keel, this length is measured on a waterline parallel to the design waterline.
