The Yachtsman's Lawyer

Because of the historical importance of shipping to the UK, the legal concept of the ownership of a vessel, and the mechanism of recording this, has developed differently to the law of ownership of objects or 'chattels' in general. English law developed as a pragmatic system and has never had a separate theory of ownership. This book continues to discuss:1. Yacht Ownership and Registration2. Buying and Selling a Yacht3.
