FCC application for MMSI

[Eastside3]

When filing out the application there is a section for “ship class”. What would a R29 be considered among the various choices, ....

CHR - Trawler
MTB - Motor boat
TUG - Tug
YAT - Yacht

I’m inclined to select Trawler, but I thought it worthy to ask others who have completed the application.

Correct - trawler

And what would be the choice for a Cutwater C28, Motor Boat?

As far as I have found, there is no strict FCC definition, but "yacht" generally refers to a pleasure vessel, so I used that for a C30. I think the main purpose is to help a rescuer spot the boat so I'd use whichever of those would make you feel slightly more identifiable by general type.
