I've been searching the coast guard and fisheries sites for clarification of one line in these new regulations. There's clause about 50'+ vessels:
"vessels classed before July 1, 2012 shall remain subject to the requirements of a classification society and have on board a certificate from that society."
What society is the Coast Guard referring to? How do I obtain a certification? How often does this certificate need to be renewed? What are the costs of and additional requirements for this certification? Why are these requirements separate from the standard Coast Guard examination?

Thank you for the help. ~ Casey
