it is still not legal for a Canadian to lease a bare-boat charter on a
documented vessel from Hinckley if the Canadian operates the vessel in an
exclusive manner for an extended period of time (two weeks or a month is not an
extended period of time jeffies).

jeffies, the above is beyond your capability to understand. don't try.

************************************************** *********BRIQN!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!********************** ***************,

a **registered** vessel is NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTT a "documented"
vessel, and ****therefore**** a registered vessel is not a US-flagged vessel.
US-flagged vessels hold valid documentation. That is the definition of the
term US-flagged.

why can you get that through your head.

geesh, rational discussion is not possible with you guys because you are not
capable of understanding even basic terms. Do traffic lights often confuse
you?

We've learned to ignore that side of jaxie; he has Tourette's
Syndrome.

I had to look that one up ....
"Behavioral and Developmental - Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
obsessions and compulsions, emotional lability, irritability, impulsivity,

Ah, well, okay - even so, it's not necessary to see such vitriolic rudeness
and blind refusal to accept another's point of view with wild, irrelevant
ramblings - ergo plonk.

I'm sorry I even contributed and perhaps encouraged the direction of
the thread.

Actually, this was interesting - One point that surprised me was that
the law allowing non-citizens to be in command was changed less than
10 years ago. Before that, for instance, it would not have been legal
for a Canadian to do a bare-boat charter on a documented vessel from
Hinckley.

To belabor a point, probably the Slovenes have registered but not documented
their craft and that is enough for the authorities in Ljubljana to accept -
perhaps not knowing of the subtle double procedure. How else could someone
have a US flagged ship for $100 (if my informant was honest about his
transaction)? That then begs the question of their true status when cruising
into other nations' waters.

The advertisement I cited was, as you mentioned, extremely vague about how
documentation for foreigners was accomplished. Perhaps it circumvented the
letter of the law but the spirit is clearly violated in some shady way and
they do not want to advertise it.

Best, BrianH.

jeffies, until five days after this discussion started you were still claiming
that properly ducumented vessels could be operated by a non-citizen under any
circumstance and under all condition.

Actually, my first post on the topic was:

"First of all, jaxie doesn't understand the rules. His claim that a citizen
must
be on documented vessels at all times is completely bogus. It may be true for
commercial fishing vessels, but not for recreational boats."

Its pretty clear that I knew that recreation vessels were covered by different
rules.

It was two days after your comment, which I had let slide until it appeared that
someone beleived you.

this is not true. a *casual* non-citizen
user can under *some* conditions. Even then, jeffies, you could not produce
the specifics, except by a suspect reference in a single BoatsUS mag article,
said article missing a major portion of the law.

I posted the exact law in the US Code which says that recreational vessel are
exempt form the "citizen in command" rule. I also posted the new wording which
is on the Senate floor now The magazine article was a gift to you because it
showed that you would have been right 10 years ago. But you were too dense to
understand I was giving you a way out that would give you the illusion of
maintaining your dignity.


if I had not done the work
you claimed to have done, you would STILL be arguing that ANY duc vessel can
be
used by ANY non-citizen under ANY and ALL conditions, as you were up to that
point arguing.

You claimed specifically that if I allowed a non-citizen to command my boat for
even a few minutes, the CG could sieze it. That is clearly false.

You haven't done any work whatsoever. You posted the rules from the
documentation center about proving ownership that have nothing to do with a
non-citizen being in command.

What's your point? I've already stated that creating complex legal structures
to hide the ownership is probably illegal for recreational vessels; it certainly
is for commercial vessels. In my first post I said:

"A non-citizen may not own (or in any way have a controlling interest in) a US
"Documented" vessel."

and the next day:

"it is patently illegal for a non-citizen of the US to own, or in
any way have a controlling interest, in a US Documented vessel. The laws go on
at great length
closing as many loopholes as the lawyers could think of. There is no exemption
for recreational
vessels. Vessels in violation certainly lose their documentation, and might be
liable for seizure."

If you want to show us the law where a certain length lease would be illegal,
feel free. I already gave you the URL for searching the US Code, it would be in
Title 46.

Now, you've just conceded that a one month bareboat charter would be legal.
Before, you were claiming that 2 hours was illegal. We're making progress.

Very easily, ownership of the boat is through a US registered
corporation. The corporation then charters out the boat to who ever
is actually using the vessel.

try "quorum".

if of course you wanna illegally document a boat in the US. of course, google
offered you a corrected spelling, but you were unable to understand.

stevei doods, did you graduate high school in less than seven years? if so,
how come you pretend you didn't?

Oh, I understood all right. Just couldn't resist a dig at
