Yeah I understand the 90/180. We will be moving around a lot but I will keep track on the days spent. My lass is Spanish so she's fine either way. Thanks for all the help everyone.

I live in the UK, British born and bread. So that allows me to have a none vat taxed boat from what I've read?

Thanks for the information, helped me big time!

Okay so I won't have to have it taxed anywhere at all? I will have to just register it in the UK and job done? Does this also count for Gibraltar and British over seas? Thanks!

Hi, I am interested in buying a boat in the med. I have read up a lot on the new rules about the 18 months for boats not taxed in the EU. If they are EU taxed it is not a problem if they are not then you can stay 18 months. Does this apply to a none eu residents boat if the boat is not taxed...

Yeah, Dave gave us the handover, nice guy. We love the boat and have been 4-5 times already even with the cold weather. The heater really takes the chill out of her, keeps my other half happy, haha. Theres two sides to the heaters thermostat the right side looks like an 8 but have no idea what...

Hey, an update to anyone who followed the thread. I purchased a Hunter 310, fits our needs for lake sailing, shes called SeaSaw and we got her from Maiden. I guess you will see us in March or so, come say hi. :-) Any questions? Jay

Just to add I do have a dinghy with a Seagull outboard to get from and to the boat. I have no problem getting things down to the boat as my step dad has a van and would not mind getting large amount of things or heavy things down there for me from time to time. I have cousins and other family...

I completely understand, just trying to get a little idea on that specific one as I can't find any reviews about it on the net. I do plan on looking at and testing quite a few before committing :)

David that's my idea spot on, I don't drive so I will have to get the train, over the illness I had I couldn't. (If you chose the right boat no reason why after a year or so you could not have it moved elsewhere (at a price). ) That was another thing I always thought If the lake did not work out...

The costs for a RYA course seem to be a lot of money, then I would have to also pay for over night stays at hotels/B&Bs and cost getting there and back. A 5 week course can cost onwards of £2000 with the above fees. I've been looking at a Ronautica RO 265 that's for sale and brokered by Maiden...

I'm from Leeds, like I said though It's either a boat which I would love, I have been on the water a few times and I know It's what I want or a caravan and that's just boring. I know I would love sailing. I'm very keen on learning the full ropes. I have the money and time, all I'm asking is how...

Hey everyone, new to the forum here and looking for a bit of help. I'm looking to learn how to sail had little time on a sailing boat and just know It's something I must take up. I'm looking for something that would berth 4 people comfortably and 6 If I needed to. I want to know about annual...
