[Scott Maury]

maybe im reading this wrong. I would like to bareboat out the boat say a
week or two to offset the slip cost. Am i dreaming?  How about any members
who might have friends ...say want to trade time or something in exchange
for my vessel here on the chesapeake?????????   Scott

  Thank you, George, for reminding me of the deatils of the Jones Act.
  I remember now what I researched: getting my six-pack liscence and taking
people out in the Raritan bay as a way of writing the boat off on taxes.
And, indeed, that is precluded by the Jones act as "passengers for hire",
disallowed on a non-USA-built boat.

    I believe you can bare-boat charter a non-US vessel without any
    problems.  It's just that coast-wise trade (including carrying
    passengers for hire) between US ports must be carried out in
    US built vessels according to the Jones Act.

    Another tidbit about documentation: if your boat is documented,
    it's can't be under the control of a non-US citizen.  The
    captain on board must be a US citizen, which could prevent
    you from bare-boat chartering to foreigners.  If there's a
    US citizen on board, the simple thing is to nominate that
    person as the captain in charge.

    Documentation also lets the US Government take control of
    the vessel in wartime.  I doubt that's a big issue for a
    30 foot sailboat, though.
