Where do I put my audit sticker?

Pictured: Matador with 5N Category sticker
|
|
Congratulations if you’ve completed your audit and have your sticker to show your boat is compliant! Now, you might wonder:
|
|
“Can I put the sticker on the inside of the boat?”
|
The audit sticker should be applied to the transom. And yes, that’s so people can see it. And it’s also in the NOR.
|
See NOR Section 5.1.2: [...] Have a safety equipment sticker affixed to the transom.
|
So let’s see those stickers!
