Is it worth it to document your boat with the USCG before leaving the
country, or is a state registration good enough? Any opinions? Joe |

From what I have seen all countries, at least in Asia, accept any documentation that says it is a registration. I have a non-US national registration, a friend has his boat registered in Delaware, a third friend has a "Singapore Harbor Registration" and none of us have ever been refused entry to any Asian country. I did, however, have a harbor master look my country of registration to see whether that country issued ship registration. Bruce in Bangkok (brucepaigeATgmailDOTcom) |

But the French Islands seem to want more than state registration and fine you if you don't have it. |
