"Undesirable alien" buying a US flagged boat
no, fleton. you were NOT thinking. quit lying like that.
sorry, jeffies, people have lost their documentation by letting noncitizens control (meaning no citizen onboard) their documented boats. I'd suggest you take a careful look at the meaning of "control" in this context, bearing in mind that there are specific provisions dealing with owners, officers and directors of a corporation. My suspicion is that "control" is not synonymous with "operate." For example, if a person has the power to elect a majority of a corporation's directors, he's generally said to "control" the corporation, and might also be said to "control" the vessel owned by the corporation, even if he's 1000 miles away from it. Dave S/V Good Fortune CS27 I was thinking the same thing, Dave. In the context that Jax quoted, but seems to misunderstand, I gathered the term control was *as in effective ownership*, not the simple operation of a boat. In other words, no "citizen" acting as a straw man while the boat is effectively owned, or controlled, by a noncitizen. |
