1. 4:25 In fact, the Global Solo Challenge is in progress right now. I don't know how they handled the checking-out issue. But that falls in the category of "not my problem".

2. Perhaps my new job? Sounds good to me… great idea/video Tim!!

3. Wow Sailor, your channel is what we need to prepare us for sailing one day

4. How much os that cruising permit for a C&C 40?

5. I thought you’d never ask, but my favorite color is yellow! 🟨

6. I might play that risk game if I knew exactly what I was doing.

7. Great info

8. S U P E R V I D E O !!!!
   THANX A LOT !!!
   Hallo & Fast !

9. If you want to make real money sail them to Australia

10. Another solid episode packed with useful, real world knowledge. Mahalo 🤙

11. What is the cost difference between a cruising permit and being parked on the hard?

12. My favourite sail boat manufacturer is moody in Great Britain

13. Could you make the same video but on mexico ?

14. well done

15. Very interesting. I always wondered how that worked with cross border sales

16. Good Point worth emphasising Tim, on the importance of Checking in and checking Out of places. Things can get very complicated if you don't. For example, checking out of Spain or Portugal before checking into Gibraltar. It can be worth checking in to Morocco then checking out from there then back to Gib if you forgot to do it. Though things can change with the Status of Gib relating to the EU Bureaucracy. Morocco is a nice place to visit, just remember to never Anchor just check into a Marina, and see if the Law may have changed on Anchoring – you never know. Best Wishes. Bob. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍

17. How much is a cruising permit in Grenada? When you say import to Grenada and just pay 35%,…of what? Sale price? Appraised Value? estimated value? Can give a real world example?

18. I would watch a channel called "Boat Flipper".

19. Hi Tim, as a Brit, there are very powerful Reasons why the British Virgin Islands are my clear Favourites in the Caribbean. First, it is an English Common Law Country (a major positive ) and as a Brit, I don't need to Create a Company to Register a Boat in the BVI, so two approaches 1) I can pre register my Secondhand Tide me over Sailboat bought on the Brit side of the Atlantic, Buy things much cheaper than in the USA, such as the brilliant Seago Liferaft, Seago Dinghy and Lifejackets, plus the Solar Panels and Wind generator I want, Sail itbover, and complete registration in the BVI, while waiting for a new Island Packet IP 439 to be Completed, have it provisionally registered in the BVI after Transferring the good stuff transferred (I'll take a second Liferaft across plus some spare Lifejackets etc to keep the USCG happy on the safety equipment front, and have the new boat delivered to the BVI as a shakedown Cruise, and finalise the BVI registration once it gets there. For me, though I'll be sailing the Caribbean for a few years, the BVI is technically a brilliant base to have there. For perspective, the Seago Liferafts are a bit under half of the price of USA ones, yet in decades worthnof Comparitive Testing, the one clear winner has always been the Seago. I'm not related to the Company I any way other than as a customer, and they do a brilliant range of Sailing related products, and tbh, I have had a bit of a go at them for not promoting their products well enough. Their inflatable tenders for example, the 10 ft Hypalon Air Deck and Keel is good value, and their PVC ones have the new UV resistant material, plus they do great value full UV protection Covers (in fact due to the lack of hands on Testing Reviews of those, I'll likely pick one up to do a thorough review of it as well, and save the Hypalon one unused, until I've completed the testing. They really do deserve to have much better exposure imho. Obviously, mail ordering things like Liferafts and Dinghies from the UK, would drive the price up to USA levels, so would not be worth it sadly. Something else I'm going to take over to the Caribbean are TP Link M7200 SIM Card 4G LTE Mifi Routers. I've put some bids on some at auction here, which are about half the price of their M7350 models, and Sailing Gently Channel has just done a good video on Caribbean insurance, and also a good insight into the Caribbean wide 4G LTE Coverage at a great price that he uses for his data needs with his M7350 that he is getting on his boat. the data throughput is good enough for streaming Netflix, Prime, YouTube etc so will be all I need for Electrinic Charts updating, Predict Wind, online shopping, emails and chats. All a fraction of the price of Starlink. he uses free WiFi ashore at cafes, Bars etc, to upload his videos. frankly as I have no interest in doing videos, a pocket sized Mifi Router like the M7200 Router should do everything I need. I'll start testing one as soon as I get one from the auction, though 4G LTE signal where I live, really Sucks tbh. I get a download speed of one to one point 6 megabytes per second in 2024. 😃😃😃 Best Wishes. Bob. 👍🌟🌟🌟❤️

20. Fun video thanks. Can I ask, how much cheaper are boats in Florida say anywhere on the west coast? just roughly (percentage). Thanks

21. Absolutely BRILLIANT !!! Thanks 🙂
    Funny enough, I was looking at flights to Grenada over the weekend, to buy a boat and keep her on the hard whilst I'm not there. It's a good option from the UK.
    ps: the deposit in escrow is to weed the tyre-kickers out. They probably get a lot of them otherwise.

22. One option is to go to contract before buying the plan tickets, subject to personal inspection, survey, etc. The funds are held in escrow in the USA. At least that way you know what the price will be before you survey the boat, as opposed to buying plane tickets, paying for hotels, and finding that the seller won't move on his/her price.

23. My favorite color is clear 🙂

24. Sound advice thanks . Looking at buying in the us , I am Canadian . Any rules there ( maybe do a show if you have not already

25. good information thanks

26. Thanks for sharing so much info. I learn more on every vid you put out. By the time I'm financially ready to buy a sailboat I'll know exactly what to look for and where to look for it.

27. Good info on boat buying off shore. I like how you explained its not like the US or Canada,
    Check out Rio dulce Guatemala . Every year hundreds of cruisers go there for hurricane season. Many like me find they are too old to sail and put their boat up for sale. You can find good deals and the marinas are very reasonable. It's a short cheap flight from Florida.

28. Gets way more expensive if you have to visit several boats over several months before finding what you want… by which time you may discover you no longer have the funds to purchase :</

29. I like the content –- Can you give more on importing a boat and buy offshore

30. Be aware!!!
    The problem is, the vessel will be listed as "none payed tax/vat.". A red flag for customs everywhere.
    Therefore a tight arrive/leave/hide schedule must be applied. A nightmare for registration. Not to mention insurance and permits.
    A solid information about outstanding warrants, none payed fees of any kind will be hard to get. Any not payed bills of any kind, will be added to the new owner (backward up to 10 years). From open marina fees to not payed permits.
    Don't be the looser, giving away your hard earned money to a scheme.
    Custom is collecting world wide and the data network is solid our days.
    Don't fall for promises, lies nor fake documentation.
    There is a reason for ANY "good price".
    Bin there, done EXACTLY that.

31. First, we gotta get in touch with the owners of those yachts for sell and see if it’s a worthy investment to hire one of us to sail their boat to Florida. I think I’d rather get paid to sail the boat rather than a commission on the sale. A ton of money could be made if you wanted to buy the boats in Grenada and resell them in the US. Personally I’d rather be apart of a “refit” team that makes these boats fetch top dollar.

32. Understood clearly
    And thanks for the information

33. This is not the kind of business you try figuring out for the first time. There are so many possible pitfalls (jurisdictional, bureaucratic, not apparent) that it's best to learn by working for someone who's already been doing it for many years. Or if you find your dream boat in Grenada, hiring that experienced person to handle it. You could wind up with a boat with a dodgy title, that can't be landed anywhere, or resold, or you're lied to, sail it to the U.S. or Canada where there's a huge tax lien on it. I know what a leak looks like, I can fix that. I don't know what the wrong title looks like.

34. I suspect the deposit requirement is to help disqualify 'non-serious' buyers. The fact that they will just take you there if you show up at the door kinda validates that assumption.

    Great video and I learned a good bit!

35. This way a very good one ..Thank you

36. Very relevant, Tim 😉 Thanks for distilling this knowledge all in one place!

37. I'd like to know what you think about a pilot house boat for cruising, as opposed to, say, a centre cockpit. My parents lived on a Fisher 34 for years, which sailed like a brick but was extraordinarily comfortable. I once toured a Hans Christian 44 pilot house which made me go weak at the knees from first sight. Would love to know what cruisers think of these.

38. What is the cost of the permit v cost of being on the hard?

39. Thank you Tim. Great video, tons of useful hints 🙂
    I wonder is any similar pattern in Europe? Love you here abut…

40. Great information. Thank you

41. Great video thanks

42. That was a really interesting episode.

43. Favourite colour is green. 😂 Thanks, Tim for making your vids, I learn so much. I have a little 1981 Kelt 7.6 in our shared Nations Capital. I appreciate my boat but I would like some headroom since i am a little over 6 foot (183cm) and see the bigger 30 footers on the river and their ability to offer the ability to stand erect. Anywho, if you were looking for video ideas (I know, unsolicited advice), talking about smaller 25-27 footers that offers height, weeklong tank capacity, and finally what kit to put on your boat to make life better on small boats (bbq, lagun table, bimini, chairs, inflatable toys, etc…). Finally, thank you for reading this comment. Signed, a big fan.
