jeffies, you are way to stupid to argue with. you simply have no capablity to
think. you goggled for hours on end to find a single article in that Admiralty
legal journal called BoatUS hoping hope against hope to prove you are not so
stupid your wife has to balance the checkbook. you must be movie star good
looking for an ordinary woman to put up with your abject stupidity.

in the end, you found a single exception that relates *only* to recreational
boat IN CHARTER service.

you are a sophist (get your wife to explain what the big word means) pig of no
value to anyone in any discussion involving sailing or sailboats or even the
merits of lead pencils vs ball point pens.

because you are such a sophist pig hoping angainst hope to not really be the
stupid cluck the girls laughed at in high school you act in such a fashion that
adult men walk out of conversations you intrude upon and rednecks in pickup
trucks toss empty beer can at your head.

I am not much in favor of abortion, but jeffies, the world would be better off
if your mother had had one. I have utter disgust for the intellectual creep
you are. get used to it, squathead. you were born stupid, you are now stupid,
and you will die stupid. Stay out of the way. Adults are talking, and you
will never have adult intelligence.

You made two claims, jaxie. One that it is illegal for a non-citizen to
document a boat in the US. On this I completely agree.

You also claimed, as you have several times in the past, that non-citizens
cannot be in command of a US documented vessels. As I've shown several
times,
this is completely false - it does not apply to vessels with only a
"recreational" endorsement.

jeffies, you are quoting the special case far outside the original poster's
question. a legally documented vessel (say the owner is Del corp) operated
on
a regular and continuing basis a single operater or set of operators who
are
not US citizens will loose said documentation should they be caught.

google again, jeffies. all night long if you wish, but check with your
wife
before you post again.

When you start posting like that its pretty clear you've lost the
argument.
However, one more nail for your coffin:

"What has changed is that a foreigner is now allowed to be "in command" of
a
U.S. documented recreational vessel. The regulations were relaxed in 1996,
only
for recreational vessels, and this mainly benefits those who want to
bareboat
charter a documented vessel to a foreigner or a U.S. citizen who has a
foreign
spouse or boat partner. For all other endorsements of documented vessels
--
coastwise, fishing, and registry -- a U.S. citizen must still be in
command"
of
the vessel."

jeffies, argue with the Coast Guard. documented boats have lost their
right
documentation by having a non-citizen in command.

jeffies, you REALLY should drop out of this discussion, for your wife is
nowhere near at hand to tell you that you are a dumb cluck.

Once again, jaxie is proved wrong.

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

Section 12110. Limitations on operations authorized by certificates
(a) A vessel may not be employed in a trade except a trade
covered by the endorsement issued for that vessel.
(b) A barge qualified to be employed in the coastwise trade may
be employed, without being documented, in that trade on rivers,
harbors, lakes (except the Great Lakes), canals, and inland waters.
(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.

jeffies, this has been discussed before and the problem it seems is
that
you
don't understand what the English word "command" means in relation to
a
documented vessel, as the word is understood by the US Congress.

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.

jeffies is wrong on this, and it has been argued before. Again, I
say.
jeffies is dead wrong on this.

You've made this claim before but never substantiated it. Its
pretty
easy
to
find the regs that require Fishing vessels to be command by
citizens;
why
can't
you find the regs that apply to recreational vessels?


US documentation has been lost on recreational vessels found to
being
operating
by a non-citizen with not citizens onboard and in command.

So, you're claiming that non-citzens can't charter a documented
vessel
in
US
waters? I should be pretty easy to find a rule about that - how
about
it
jaxie?
