You can get a completely legal one from the offical MCA site. Download it and print it yourself, on a decent laser printer if you can. See <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.mcga.gov.uk/c4mca/mcga-the_mca/mcga-uk_registration/mcga-msf4705.pdf>here</A>.

If you are a member of the RYA you can log on to its website and download a bill of sale. if you are a non-member, you can still get one by contacting them phone and buying one.

If the boat is part 1 registered be aware the Ships Registry is about the most pedantic organisation on earth. I have recently had a problem in that the date on the bill of sale was a day before the date on the previous owners mortage discharge, but it was signed as having been discharged. They had copies of the discharge etc. but still required a new BIll of Sale, as the vendor was no longer in the country it has been a nightmare, through nobodies fault or obstruction, just a bid of overt pedantry.

The Bill of Sale deals with the transfer of property in the boat. It's not an ideal place to record the terms of sale. For example, you could enter the exact amount of the sale price on the Bill of Sale but many are completed by inserting "£1 and other considerations". Either would be equally valid.
If you want to protect yourself (as seller) against claims concerning the condition of the boat, simply prepare a sale and purchase agreement including the following words "Sold as seen without express or implied condition or warranty as to satisfactory quality or fitness for any purpose".

I have a feeling that the wonderful "£1 and other considerations" is now outlawed by Ships Registry. Probably has something to do with money laundering, but if not registered, why not?
