Marine Electronics and othe equipment in Koper, Slovenia
Dear alt.sailing group:
I am about to purchase a Bavaria sailing yacht for med. sailing. I plan to get it transported to Koper in Slovenia for rigging. I need to fit some electronics (Raymarine ST 6001 autopilot) and some other equipment. Do you know any dealer of marine equipment in the area, preferably with E-mail address? Raymarine list NAUTIC SERVICE as dealer in this area, but unfortunatly only fax and telephone # is listed. Will try them later. Is it generally a good idea to fit the youcht in Slovenia, or should I buy the equipment at home (Norway) import the electronics and other equipment? Another option is to buy the equipment in Germany or UK and import it to Slovenia. What would you suggest? KM |

Marine Electronics and othe equipment in Koper, Slovenia
Hi Kristian,
I know little about Koper other than calling in there once when cruising but I just want to say how satisfied I am keeping my yacht in Italy just across the water in Aprilia Marittima where there is a marina of more than 2'000 boats ( http://www.netanday.it/aprilia/ ). Consequently, the support infrastructure is excellent with many competent craftspeople, many of them German who have relocated there. Perhaps you are only using Koper to launch, fit out and move on, in which case you could still use the facilities in Italy, which are infinitely better than either Slovenia or Croatia. Let me know if you would like any further information. Regards, Brian. "Kristian Martinsen" wrote in message .. .

But infinitely more expensive!!! Furthermore, I don't know about Slovenia, but I know for sure that on Croatian coast's harbours quality level has increased a lot, and you could find some good Marina close to bigger towns (Pula, Zadar, Split just to mention some of them) in which you can find whatever you may ever need...

Luca Hmm, while I admit things have enormously improved in Croatia there just isn't the same quantity of resources (and I think, attitude) as in Italy. I was in Umag, Rovinj, Pula, Mali Losinj and Zadar, plus many other smaller harbours, throughout this summer - so I'm not out of touch or out of date - and I know where I would get my boat maintained (Italy) despite the admittedly higher initial cost. Regards, Brian. |

Hi Blazer:
Thanks for reply. Do you know the address (preferably E-amial if available) to any retailers of electronics (Raymarine autopilots etc.) and other equipment in the area? We would like to ask for a quotation on a package of equipment. Kristian "Blazer" skrev i melding ...

Kristian,
Try these guys, they are based not far from Trieste with a number of retail outlets in a number of sailing centres. I have had some good deals with discounts from them. http://www.nautimarket.com/italiano/...-chi-siamo.htm Regards, Brian. "Kristian Martinsen" wrote in message . .. Hi Blazer: Thanks for reply.

Marine Electronics and othe equipment in Koper, Slovenia
I visited the marina in Slovenia a year ago. Looks very nice and
professional, although I wasn't asking specifically for recommendations. Lots of very nice sailboats, well maintained. They are building Elmarine sailboats there. "El Zed" wrote in message ...

If you do follow up this potential Italian supplier and still will be
fitting out in Koper, be sure to insist that the Italian tax (VAT/ETA) is deducted as effectively you will be exporting from an EU country to a non-EU country (Slovenia). At the same time, be aware that you may then be liable to Slovenian tax on importing the goods - this may well be higher. I reproduce from a posting I made earlier in uk.rec.sailing: "I was chatting this summer to a Slovenian skipper ashore on a small Croatian island waiting for the tiny post office to open who surprised me by explaining the mystery of the preponderance of USA-flagged yachts in the Adriatic this year. They were, in fact, Slovenian, and registered as he was for $100 in the state of Delaware, to avoid the new 40% yacht import duty in Slovenia" Regards, Brian.

To register in US as for non-residents they had to set-up the the =
Delaware company first?

Perhaps it is a scam, or a loophole that a company can exist stateside and who sells registrations, I dunno the details. I just know that this particular guy bought a yacht outside of his country, Slovenia, and paid 100 US dollars to register it as a US boat, imported it to Slovenia, keeps it there and sails it with ol' glory stuck on the stern. At least he spoke good English, although without an American accent. Standard flag of convenience stuff - happens in a lot of places. Plenty of non-British owned yachts, especially big, expensive motor ones, in the Mediterranean, flying the red ensign of British registry from Guernsey and Jersey in the Channel Islands, just like Panama and Liberia do with commercial shipping. It is just as easy to register a yacht in Vienna without being Austrian or even living there, I did it myself once because of a favourable technicality in doing so. Austria, a country with no coastline whatsoever, if you ignore the Danube river - LOL. Well, at least my wife is Austrian, not that that had anything to do with it. Brian. |
