Do not confuse weight with tonnage. The Flicka weighs 6000 pounds. However, I do not remember the formula for tonnage, which is a computation of cargo capacity and weight.
In any case, why isn't some organization pushing for a change in the reg's to make any boat that plies international waters eligible for documentation? That is the real issue.

is that you really haven't changed . . .
Your body changes, but you don't change at all.
And that, of course, causes great confusion." . . . Doris Lessing
