Default "Undesirable alien" buying a US flagged boat


Buy it somewhere else - we don't need you business if you have no respect
for your freedom.

This is why I am trying to determine under what flag I can register the

boat
I intend to buy. I wish to buy the boat then sail it indefinitely. I don't
intend to "import" it anywhere - for a start where too? I am an NZ

citizen,
but haven't lived there for 35 years and have no connections there at all
anymore. I currently reside in France, but will have no more connections

to
France once I am on the boat. Where do I therefore register to? Country of
birth? Country of last residence? Neither NZ or France would allow that as

I
have no address in either country. Or keep the existing registration

(which
seems impossible)? Or can I register it under a flag of convenience like
Panama?
