Next message: Black Swan: "Re: lv-ab: buying a boat in Canada for use in the US?"
thanks to everyone who has sent ideas and advice, many
different PoV, very interesting. keep 'em coming!
two more data points, I am neither a Can nor a US citizen so
cannot do federal registration in either country, only
licensing. I believe the boat qualifies as "used" due to her
age, despite never having been sold before (purchasing from
builder). considered registering offshore, Isle of Man or
whatever, but that complicates the matter of keeping the
vessel in US waters for the next few years as I would then
need a US Cruising permit and I think would have to remove
the boat from US territory periodically.
I'll call various phone numbers and see what I can find
out. am committed to the deal, so will have to make my
way through the red tape as best I can. sometimes I think
the real adventures with this boat will be *over* when I
finally start sailing her :-)
