That was true quite a while back. It is no longer true. The US can
sieze a boat permanently if they merely suspect it might be capable
and/or planning to go to Cuba. There is no "due process" involved.
They can just stop you and take your boat at their discretion from any
place in US waters. You don't even have to be anywhere near Cuba, or
pointed in that direction.



Thats just not true Robert and you know it!

I will sail Heart of Gold, my new 35s5 from LIS to Cuba soon, and
there is not a thing the Shrub and his puppet goverment or the USCG can
do about it.
