Default sailboat length

I owned a sailboat and got spoken too because it was not registered. The MP asked how long it was and I said 11' 11 inches, and that is what the bill of sale said it was. However, at the time I did not know that sailboats over 12' had to be registered. I got home and measured it, it was just 13'. If the cop wanted to measure it, he would have to follow me into shore, cause I was just learning how to operate it, and when I stopped I was on the beach!
