  Ignoring is an option I have considered.

It seems debatable whether registration is actually required by law in Idaho (depends on who you ask, in my experience). The law is just ambiguous enough for a control-freak to believe it is required.

"Definitions...
Sailboat. Any vessel equipped with mast(s) and sail(s), dependent upon the wind to propel the
vessel in the normal course of operation of the vessel."

Sailboats are required to register.

But then, there's this, regarding registration...

"NUMBERING - EXEMPTIONS.
The following vessels are exempt from the numbering provisions of Title 67, Chapter 70, Idaho Code, pursuant to
Section 67-7009(5), Idaho Code: (7-1-93)
01. Rowboats. Rowboats without motors; (7-1-93)
02. Canoes. Canoes without motors; (7-1-93)
03. Kayaks. Kayaks without motors; (7-1-93)..."

So, yeah - I think I'll ignore it.

Sorry for the diversion from the OP. Upon perusing their website, I do suspect that the Falcon sail rig may be about as good as it gets for practicality.
