How does documentation/registration work outside the US?
Jeremy Hoyland of the UK quite understandably didn’t appreciate the US-centric nature of the draft FAQ: One main comment, although rec.boats has a lot of Americans on it not all of us are, and things are different in the rest of the world. For instance in the UK a boat does not have to be documented, it is only a requirement in the outside world. If it is documented we have a choice between the SSR (Small Ships Register) and a full Lloyds cert. -the same as an oil tanker would get, which is expensive. On a similar theme most European countries, although not the UK, require the boat skipper to have a license of some sort and may impose restrictions on where a boat can go due to its size. This puts us in the position of needing documentation and a license if we go abroad, but not at home! I must admit that I have no excuse for being US-centric, other than the fact that I know nothing about the situation outside my own country. Many thanks for Jeremy for putting me straight. Hopefully oth
