Customs Information for Canadian Vessels
Although Canadian registered vessels are not expected to land in the USA during the normal course of this race, a vast portion of the race course takes place in US waters. As such, it is highly recommend that all crew members on competing vessels carry the necessary US Customs documents should they are required in case of landing emergencies at a US port or on-water inspection by US authorities.
​
* The Pleasure Boat Reporting Requirements are available on the US Customs and Border Protection website here.
* The new (June 1, 2009) WHTI document requirements are available on the US Department of Homeland Security website.
Coast Guard
