        (1)         For the purposes of these regulations, the length of a vessel is determined as follows:

            (a)         in the case of a vessel in respect of which a certificate of survey is in force—the length of the vessel is the measured length specified in that certificate;

            (b)         in the case of a vessel in respect of which a certificate of survey is not required or is not in force and that is constructed of pontoons—the length of the vessel is the distance along the deck between the foremost transverse deck beam and the aftermost transverse deck beam;

            (c)         in any other case—the length of the vessel is the distance from the foremost part of the hull to the aftermost part of the hull taken at the upper side of the uppermost weather tight deck or, in the case of an open vessel, at the height of the gunwale.

        (2)         In this regulation—

"aftermost part of the hull" means the trailing edge of the shell plating, planking or other structural material or, in the case of stem bars or posts, the intersection of the outside of the shell plating or planking with the stern bar or post but excluding, in all cases, any member added to the exterior of the hull (eg a fender, sponson or rubbing strip);

"foremost part of the hull" means the leading edge of the shell plating, planking or other structural material or, in the case of bar stems or stem posts, the intersection of the outside of the shell plating or planking with the stem bar or post but excluding, in all cases, any member added to the exterior of the hull (eg a fender, sponson or rubbing strip).
