Ships papers.

Reading this month's PBO about VAT and it's got me considering my boat.
If I decide to make for foreign shores (quite likely) am I going to be in trouble without a file of original documents?

I've got a folder full of, mainly useless, documents. No bill of sale or anything to do with VAT. The boat is 25 years old.

What do I need?

SSR & cert of insurance are the main 2 you will be asked for. ICC if you plan to go inland.
With the age of your boat Vat should not be a problem.

Thanks James, although inland might be a possibility it's not until I've got fed up of going to sea! ;D

The insurance is obvious, I'll look up getting the on th SSR..........

SSR registration sorted, nice to see it set up online!
