What are you talking about, jaxie??? Do you really want me to post the entire
US Code here on the newsgroup?

How about this:
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/uscode/browse.html

Now, you can show us the part where recreational vessels must be command by
citizens.

incorrect

What, are you accusing me of making up parts of the US Code??? What a
pathetic,
little worm you are jaxie.

Finding portions of the US Code only takes a minutes, especially if you have
title and section

http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-...rowse_usc&doci
d=Cite:+46USC12110

Since the full code is only published every 6 years, the other sections
aren't
posted yet. Frankly, the entire title is being overhauled this session - the
new wording was added last year (I think) and is also in the bill that has
passed in the House and is on the Senate floor now. However, there is no
substantive difference between the old version and the new on this issue.

What? You need an URL to find the United States Code? I'll give you a
hint,
you can google on "United States Code"

You didn't ask for an URL, you ask for a "the *EXACT* paragraph" and
that's
what
I gave you.

google, little-box-of-rocks-in-training-wheels, for several hours and
show
us
the *EXACT* paragraph in the CG regulations where it _expressly_
states
ANY
and
ALL documented recreational vessel may be under the command of a
non-citizen
at
ANY time and under ANY condition.

please be specific, as your claim is specific.

I already did.

Here's the United States Code, Title 46, Section 12110:

Section 12110. Limitations on operations authorized by certificates
...
(c) A vessel with only a recreational endorsement may not be
operated other than for pleasure.
(d) A documented vessel, other than a vessel with only a
recreational endorsement, may be placed under the command only of a
citizen of the United States.

This is the last published version of the US Code, otherwise known as
"The
Law"

The law has been updated in the last year or so, with some new sections
added,
including:

Section 12131. Command of documented vessels

A documented vessel (other than a vessel with only a
recreational
endorsement) may be placed under the command only of a citizen of the
United
States.

Section 12151. Penalties
....
(e) Seizure and Forfeiture of Vessels.--

(1) Grounds.--The Government may seize and forfeit a vessel
(including its equipment) if--

(A) the owner of the vessel or the representative or agent
of
the
owner knowingly falsifies or conceals a material fact, or knowingly
makes
a
false statement or representation, about the documentation of the
vessel
or
in
applying for documentation of the vessel;

(B) a certificate of documentation is knowingly and
fraudulently
used for the vessel;

(C) the vessel is operated after its endorsement has been
denied
or
revoked under section 12152 of this title;

(D) the vessel is employed in commerce without an
appropriate
endorsement;

(E) the vessel has only a recreational endorsement and is
operated
other than for pleasure;

(F) the vessel is a documented vessel (except a vessel with
only
a
recreational endorsement) and is placed under the command of a person
not
a
citizen of the United States
