Provisional Reg - New Boat?

Bing · 04-06-2009, 06:39

Hello to everyone,

I purchased a sailboat (a Lynaes 29) in Spain, and I plan to sail it this summer to Slovenia where I live. The boat was sailing under the German flag until now, but I'm transferring it to Slovenian flag, and I need to bring it home before I can get it registered. I got explained in Slovenia that I'd need a provisional registration in every country I sail through (Spain, Italy, Croatia). This sounds rather scary. Does anyone have any experiences or advice to that regard?

Thanks!

You say the boat has been sailing under the german flag, is it actually german registered. if so you can keep it on that register as I seem to remember that foreigners can register on the german registry. since slovenia is in the EU you shouldnt have any other problems. I dont know if Slovenia requires you to register a yacht once you live there, but that can be done when you get to slovenia

There is no such thing as proviosional registration.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try doing as you suggested, or maybe register the boat in Spain before sailing, if that is possible. How does this usually work? Do people register the boat where they buy it before they sail it home?
