For Part 1 compliance, you could have the "of" in tiny letters so it isn't too noticeable.

My old Boat was DW of Kirribilli, London, so both an "of" and a hailing port.

Certain clubs have the privilege that the club's name (or initials) can be used in place of the port of registry. I believe that RAFSA is one of these. If so, then the club's secretariate should have a letter saying so; ask them.

Brighton is not a recognised port of choice, so "of Brighton" must be part of the ship name.

I am not familiar with the details of your laws; however, I do not think that they would be much different from anywhere else.
As far as I know, one cannot include a Port of Registration into a name. For example, I could change the name of my boat from just 'Cyano' to 'Cyano of Malta'; however, I would not be allowed to name her 'Cyano of Valletta', because Valletta is a port of registration. I would expect that your laws, in conformity with International Martitime Conventions, would have a similar provision. I cannot, unfortunately, quote chapter and verse at this time.

I thought that you could use any one of the ports of registry.
IE, my oboat is Playtime II, registered in Southampton, but I could have Playtime II of London on the transom and that would be fine. I recall there is about 100 registered ports?

No... I think you can only use the port to which she is registered... which in my case is Falmouth... so i'm OK with that

I am not sure about this. A quick search on the mars database shows some 80 vessels called "xyz of Southampton".
It is possible that they are all Part 3 registered, but my understanding is that for Part 1 vessels the only requirement is for vessel names to be unique in the register.

Although we are all talking about the "Port of Registry", I think all vessels are now registered in Cardiff. The term Port of Registry disappeared with the blue book (I still have mine), and the term "Port of Choice" was brought in. I don't think there is any need for you to have any connection with that port.
