Hi all. This wooden plate with numbers is fixed to the bulkhead inside the lazurette, on SM 299. I have no idea what it denotes. Any one Know? Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl |

Hi Danny, The boats ‘marking plate’. ON - Official Number RT - Regulated Tonnage Is my best guess. Regards Mike & Peta SOLITUDE SM 2K 461 On 19 Oct 2021, at 19:32, Danny and Yvonne SIMMS <simms@...> wrote:

Hi Danny,
Years ago it was also called a carving mark, when the official registration number along with the registered tonnage were literally carved into a structural member of the vessel in a manner that they couldn't be tampered with or altered. The 24/100 is the registered tonnage measured in 100ths which relate to volume in cubic feet rather than tons weight. I think that the ratio was something like one imperial ton was the equivalent of 100 cubic feet of volume. I vaguely remember Martin Bandy, who was the Amel UK representative explaining this to me when I bought my SM and a new plate had to be fitted. Typically Amel, Bandy never had a written formal contract, simply a gentleman's agreement to sell their boats. If the second plate is in a similar format, is it possible that your boat got registered in a different country at some point by a new owner, hence the second plate in the engine room? Best regards, Trevor Lusty Ireland |

Thanks Mike, I thought it may be pertinent to the recent questions about registered tonnage which of course as we know is not the weight of the boat. If we can work out which jurisdiction the plate belongs to we may save hassles getting a registered tonnage for some people.

Thanks Trevor, I think you are right on both counts. As I said in my previous reply if we can identify the jurisdiction the plate refers to we could save people difficulties in getting their registered tonnage.

Hi Danny
This looks very much like the carving format for the UK Shipping Register Part 1 - we recently registered our A50#42 and we were required to mark her as ON 180370 NT26.19 (the tonnage being a volume based calculation) Kind regards Jeremy Spurr |

Thanks Jeremy, if it is the UK register maybe any SM owner who needs UK registration can use this figure instead of having to get the calculations done?? Kind Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl On 21 October 2021 at 04:34 Jeremy Spurr <jnwspurr@...> wrote: |
