Owner change if vessel on Part One?

Update:

Survey went well and so we are buying the boat!

So, now thinking of a possible name change as well as title change, but not sure if that is an easy thing to do with it being on Part 1, anyone done that?

Do not want to go through the cost and hassle of having a new tonnage survey etc if required.
 
Not difficult and no new tonnage survey required, but you do need a unique new name for Part I: hence you find lots of slight variations, such as "Mary of Hamble", "Mary of Swanwick", "Mary of Itchenor" etc. almost ad infinitum to "Mary of Port Bannatyne".
 
I have an old certificate in front of me. It says:

"A Certificate of Registry is not proof of ownership.
Details of registered mortgages are not shown."

So not sure that title is an advantage from Part 1. It might be a bit of evidence in a paper trail, but no more.

The Certificate of Registry isn’t proof of title.

A Transcript of the Register is.

If you are buying a boat on the Part One Register the seller or the seller’s broker must provide a Transcript as close as reasonably possible to the date of the sale.

I understand now. It seemed like the disclaimer on a car log book. Anyhow, I'll be moving to SSR.
 
Agree. But no blue flags for me. The crew flies her Scots' ensign. I think mainly to annoy the English.
Do you find it does annoy them and, if so, how does this annoyance manifest itself?

Do they, perhaps, post on forums expressing their annoyance that you are not flying a British red ensign, and suggesting you think you are in some way superior to those who do?

My wife likes her 1707 Scots Ensign. She likes the idea of Scots independence. I don't mind flying it at all, but I do notice that Scots sailors in the Med will ask where we got it (easy enough to buy) but the English never mention it. For example, I was standing talking to a French couple and an English couple. The former asked what the flag was and I told them. They were delighted with the idea. The English couple didn't say a word and acted as though the conversation wasn't happening. No idea what they were thinking, perhaps that the Scots were getting above themselves?

I don't really mind what is there. I am a bit agnostic about independence.

So you'll tell others what we ought not to do, but not her?

It saddens me, along with pirate flags on the stern and things bought on the end of Teignmouth pier. I think most yachtsmen want to project an image of responsibility and an understanding of international rules. Lose this and it is difficult to sound the right note when dealing with larger matters that concern us all.

Ah, the threat of all enveloping chaos when rules aren't followed. Those black hordes of pirates coming over Teignmouth Pier should worry us all.

You should hear her on the Royal Family. Or maybe not if you are keen on them.

My comments have always been observational, not prescriptive. Live your own life!
Can you not understand the difference between telling somebody what they ought to do and telling them what they ought not to do.?
