Australian Registration

[Akapeterc]

I am in the process of trying to take out Australian Registration of my 2003 Hunter 44DS, They have asked for a Builders certificate, which I have e-mailed of to Hunter in the hope that they can fill it in for me, but if they can't, they have asked me for a Statutory Declaration with a heap of questions. Most of them I have been able to find but I am bot sure of the following or were to find them, any help would be great,
Number of Bulkheads...Watertight and Non watertight?
Moulded depth of amidship???
This is the vertical distance measured (to two decimal places) from the top of the keel to the top of the freeboard deck beam at side amidships. (Amidships means the vertical plane situated at the middle of the length of the ship and at right angles to the centre line plane of the ship).
• In the case of a wooden ship or composite ship the top of the keel is the lower edge of the keel rabbet. What is a keel rabbet????????????
Tonnage length
The tonnage length of a ship is either
(a) a length equal to 96 per cent of the total length of the ship measured on a waterline that is at a distance, from the top of the keel, equal to 85 per cent of the least moulded depth of the ship?????????????????
Any help would be much appreciated

in your case the keel rabbet is the bottom of the keel stub on the hull or where the keel meets the hull

I assume you must be trying to get Australian Boat Registration as I imported a H27 2 years ago from San Diego and had no problems getting NSW rego. Just had to get a boatcode check on HIN no and length.
