THE LAW OF YACHT AND YACHTING

This is the very first detailed publication devoted wholly to the English law in connection with the yacht ownership and their operation. Note that it was not the intention of the authors to concentrate on the leisure yacht. The idea was to provide the builders of the yachts as well as the researchers in the field and all other parties involved, with the important legal matters relating to the sailing and motor yacht building and operation.

In the past the subject facilities could only be owned by the rich people; however, the past years showed quite a rapid growth in the subject market and serious investments made in the design of the yachts and associated technical researches. This all has eventually resulted in a very complicated legal framework which is quite difficult to understand.

However, it is quite clear that the appropriate understanding shall be possessed by anyone engaged in the field and this is what the present book will help you with. The numerous standard contract forms have been covered and explained in detail. The book opens with the information about the yacht building contracts and their registration, VAT applicability, legislation, accidents at sea, and many other important areas.
