Oh!! Sir......, is that a fact? in the mean time pour little Trav has disappeared from the last two pages thinking what a bunch of inappropriate comments he is being fed with. After all, he was only trying to pump your experienced brain to find how to achieve his dream, not to reduce his income tax.
Perhaps you could tell him to get his ICC for a start, to avoid paying heavy fines as he travels through some ports, also travel a descent amount of sea miles before taking on a serious crossing.
Is this thread about sailing?????
While I am on the subject no pacific nation or North, Central or South American nation is a signatory to the UN resolution 40 and France is only a signatory to the earlier resolution 14, so no you do not have to have an ICC to sail from the USA to Australia without being fined for not having one, so why tell Trav1979 lies.
This is for you Trav.
A friend is selling his 2006 Beneteau 523 Oceanic Clipper aut of Kastella (Split, Croatia). It is in excellent condition and fitted out to the nines. He is looking for around 265 thousand euros.
I do apologize, Bruski, to have tackled you ego. My comment was address to Sir..gallivant as I still can't connect section 117a and g of the Income Tax Regulations 111 to Trav's need of infos. We may as well ask Trav to read a Multi-disciplinary Analysis from Kelvin Holmes. Trav would become knowledgeable about Int'l laws, but he would not know how to make the passage from USA.
As to my previous post, I just did not want to go nuque straightaway. I am also sorry that my sarcasme flew over your head.
Of course I shall tell Trav to sail away from Bahamas before the **** hits the fan, or not to buy a mast self furling main. I shall tell him to connect a haly to the anchor barre when the said anchor is dropped on corral. Of course I shall tell him, who do you think I am?...French? He'll just have to ask the specifics, like we all did a very long time ago.
Relax "Panama Scheme", life is wonderful at sea.
Be good John, you probably are a fantastic person to meet.
thanks Loose Change, I wish people who name things wouldn't confuse things with naming models after a class of whatever
That is the Cutty Sark in Greenwich. In't he? Gorgeous even after the 2007 fire.
Although he might be the oldest, the fastest ever clipper was the 'opium clipper' "Champion of the Sea" with 467nm a day record in 1854. That is 19.46kn per hour, and that is something to think about as the record was standing until 1984 broken only by an 80ft Canadian catamaran.
Those old sea dogs new how to sail!
No that's the City of Adelaide check out the website Adelaide brought it back from Scotland on a barge a year or two ago it looks like Noah's ark when you drive past quite amazing hunk of timber boat!
Yeah, there are quite a few records out there for different categories. So at the end we all are right and those chaps who done the job are still heroes.
Ok, it is the Adelaide, my mistake, but who is looking after him? I would not mind to toss a pocketful of change towards the restoration like we did for the James Craig years ago.
Sailing past the restored James Craig just outside Sydney Head two months ago, raised my spirit immensely!
As a quick example, this is the kind of ship that will significantly increase your chances of keeping on going round-and-round,

"Clipper"
The term clipper was originally derived from slang in the early 19th century. To "clip it" or to go "at a fast clip" meant to travel fast.
Hence any modern boat can also be a "Clipper"
