Re: Multihull Cost

I'm getting the sense that my emphasis on "want" is being misconstrued. The emphasis was meant to acknowledge the difference between a "want" and a "need". When the post is taken as a whole, I would...

Re: Multihull Cost

There's no need for a Plan B, necessarily. It's not a matter of being able to afford it or not. It's a matter of when. I can either afford it now ... or later. Plan A will happen if I stay the...

Multihull Cost

Let's preface this with wants: I want a catamaran. My wife wants a catamaran. We both want to cruise - and are working towards that eventual goal. We have done our research, owned a small monohull,...

Re: Bullying on the Waterway ( Sunset Lake , Miami Beach)

Does one actually have to say "no" to say "no"?

Canuck has answered this question at least twice so far. He said many times that he didn't expect Anchor Fest to happen when it was suggested. So,...

Re: thoughts on "priced for quick sale"

"Priced for quick sale" is typically a marketing device intended to create a sense of urgency and fear of loss. A buyer might think "Wow, I need to jump on this before it's not there anymore." It's...

Re: Can I Sail to Cuba ?

Just because one doesn't get caught doesn't make it legal. It's up to each individual to decide whether they will knowingly risk breaking the law, and if they do break the law and get caught, if they...

Re: Can I Sail to Cuba ?

Bah! Are you seriously trying to tell me that the entire country does whatever the Cubans living in south Florida want? The 2000 elections didn't hinge on the Cuban vote simply by virtue of them...

Re: Two boats

Re: Help me choose a hailing port

Vintageray would like to store the boat in Florida and has stated that he would like a Florida hailing port, if it weren't for the taxes. If he plans on having the boat in Florida for 90 days, he...

Re: Help me choose a hailing port

I laugh every time I see the word "intent" regarding Florida law. Contrary to popular belief, Florida doesn't have "thought police" to determine what your intent is to be able to enforce a law based...

Re: Which Cat to Buy ?

This is mostly correct, but there are a few points that need clarification:
1. When a Florida resident purchases outside of Florida, the boat doesn't need to stay in the state where it was purchased...

Re: Money in Cash for a Catamaran - Up to $180,000 USD

With a hard limits of 40' or greater and US$180,000 or less, the pickings are slim. A quick yachtworld search yields 23 catamarans worldwide. From there, filter out the ones that don't fit your other...

Re: Bullying on the Waterway ( Sunset Lake, Miami )

Assuming he's not self-insured to begin with, I don't think he'd really care if his insurance company doubled or tripled his premiums. It's not like he'd have to mortgage his multi-million dollar...

Re: Ok So Who Is Actualy Out Sailing This Weekend???

I wish I was out on my boat too. My boat is out of the water for maintenance. It's been out of the water since December and I haven't done the first thing on my to do list. :(

Re: Bullying on the Waterway ( Sunset Lake, Miami )

Perhaps local law enforcement and/or the Coast Guard should be asked to provide security and to maintain the peace for Anchor Fest. It wouldn't be an unrealistic request for an organized, peaceful,...

Re: atlantic crossing - 22ft. E Boat

In 1953, Ann Davison became the first woman to complete a single handed Atlantic crossing. She did so in a 23 foot sloop. Her account of the crossing is detailed in her book My Ship is so Small.

Re: Lagoon 380 vs 410

I agree with ausaviator. I've been on both the 380 and the 410. The extra 2 feet does make a difference in the comfort of the vessel.

I don't understand why Lagoon felt the need to take up (waste,...

Re: Live in US - Where Can I Buy My Lagoon 410 ?

Yes, mostly. Depending on the county, there may be a surcharge of up to an additional 1.5% of the first $5000 of the purchase. Miami-Dade county, for example, will levy an additional 1%. Then, if...

Re: Live in US - Where Can I Buy My Lagoon 410 ?

I don't know, but I would be absolutely stunned if it were possible. Firstly, when do taxes ever get refunded? In the case of the US income tax refund, they're not refunding the taxes you paid....

Re: Live in US - Where Can I Buy My Lagoon 410 ?

"Not for sale to US citizen in US waters" means that the seller can't sell the boat to US citizens because the US import duty has not been paid.

In general, before any product can be sold to a US...

Re: Live in US, Where Can I Buy My Lagoon 410 ?

If you purchase a non-US flagged vessel for pleasure use and then import the vessel into the United States (thereby flagging the vessel in the US), the import duty is 1.5%. So, for your price range,...

What are the objections, specifically?

Sometimes, all that's needed is open communication and patience. When I told my wife (my new girlfriend, at the time) that I wanted to cruise, I heard all of...
