Among other things this part puzzles me. Usually a grounding damages the bottom of the boat, not the top?previous owner was doing a short cut to close to shore and the boat stopped dead and the mast went bye bye.

The whole thread is a little.... No a lot of weird and sketchy.Among other things this part puzzles me. Usually a grounding damages the bottom of the boat, not the top?
I hate it when Marian is tight-lipped....Marian was tight lipped for a long time before they told me what happened...
A hard grounding can have wide repercussions all the way to the top of the mast, extending from there to the stern and bow chain plates. After all, the whole boat is in motion, then just stops.Among other things this part puzzles me. Usually a grounding damages the bottom of the boat, not the top?
The dock pole wore a hole in the bottom, below the waterline?had a dock pole wear a hole thru the outer skin during a storm and water infiltrated the starboard side.
I have extensively cruised the Great Lakes for 50 years and stayed at countless marinas and yacht clubs. None have ever asked for proof of ownership.Welcome to the forum!!
I am so sorry to hear this. If you have not already done so, contact all the marinas and boat yards in your surrounding area to be on the lookout for a 40 O'Day. Also contact your insurance company and USCG documentationn center or state registraion department to let them know. Finally, contaxct these guys and have your sailboat added to their database Stolen Boat Database Search| MarineTitle.com.
If the thief trys to lease a berth he/she will be caught red-handed since marinas require proof of ownership (USCG documentation or state registration) to lease a berth. Hoping for a good outcome.
Interesting - nor have i been asked in the Great Lakes, but have been asked in pretty much all foreign ports I've entered. Not that it matters in this conversation...I have extensively cruised the Great Lakes for 50 years and stayed at countless marinas and yacht clubs. None have ever asked for proof of ownership.
USCG documentation shows ownership. Coupled with my passport. Totally covered.How on earth would you prove your ownership with the documents you would generally carry? The only thing I could imagine would be insurance documentation.
Coming into a foreign port they want to know ownership to be sure you didn't steal the boat. If the owner is not on board - they will require documentation that the Captain has the owners permission to be where they are. There are numerous horror stories of boats that have been moved without owners permission...Why would a marina want you to prove ownership? [Snip]
Insurance requirements by a marina makes more sense.

Sure, but then, who's asking, the marina or customs and immigration? The enforcing authority is not usually the marina.Coming into a foreign port they want to know ownership to be sure you didn't steal the boat. If the owner is not on board
Customs and immigration typically. To that point, marinas typically only want your insurance documents. Most often I've been dealing with all three at the same time, if I'm dealing with a marina....Sure, but then, who's asking, the marina or customs and immigration?
