================================

It turns out there is a much easier, and legal, way to do this.
Certain countries such as Liberia and the Cayman Islands allow
non-citizens to form corporations with the help of co-operative
residents who perform these services for a fee. The offshore
corporation owns the boat and charters it back to who ever initiated
the transaction.

It's done all the time for tax and regulatory avoidance reasons. I'm
told that the standard fee is in the area of 5K to10K USD. On a mega
yacht where 100s of thousands in state sales tax might be due, that is
a bargain.
