Well , 

what i have is more a question than a thought . Where I live one does not
have to register their boat as long as it is propelled by paddle , oar , or
 any manual mode . But - add a sail and you have to register the boat .
Something I prefer to avoid , if possible . Assuming some other areas may
have similar rules - have you found  you get a pass using an umbrella as a
sail or do you get the thicket and some stern talk  about the virtues of
obeying the law  ?
