I have written a supplement concerning the sale of US boats located in the US to non US citizens. There is no charge for this supplement which you can have a copy by just sending me an email. It describes the details of how the boat can be used after the sale. Customs procedures and documentation/registration issues. If you haven't purchased your very own copy of my guide to cruising regulations and you need a reminder as to why you really want one, be sure to read Georgs Kolesnikovs's summary. http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com/news/captainmikemauri.html Copies of the SECOND edition (203 pages 2009), not described in the T&T web article, may be purchased at: http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/a-yachtsmans-guide-smuggling-your-boat-out-of-jail/1998948 This version has updates since 2009; not extensive, but useful.
