I get asked this question all the time. What does it mean when a boat is being advertised as, "Not for Sale to US Citizens while in US Waters?" It simply means that the boat has not been imported into the United States. There are three things that can happen to make it legally purchase a boat that is not US Duty Paid. 1) The seller can pay the duty and import it into the United States 2) The seller can move the boat into a Duty Free Zone, and the closing can occur there 3) The seller can move the vessel outside of the stream of commerce, and into a foreign country. If you have any questions on buying/selling a catamaran please don't hesitate to keep them coming. Wiley Sharp Wiley@CatamaranCentral.com www.CatamaranCentral.com

How to tie the Anchor hitch. ?? Also known as an Anchor Bend although that's a bit of a misnomer. This can be used to fasten a line to an Anchor, a warp to an Anchor chain or to tie your tender off onto a ring at the dock. Careful, it can jam, but it should be fine under moderate loads. ?? It's similar to a round turn and 2 half hitches except you tuck the working line through the loop of the turns giving you more friction and a stronger hold. Finish it off with a half hitch. ?? Add an extra turn at the beginning if you like. Why not? In fact this will make the knot less susceptible to jamming. ?? ?? ?? #hitch #hitches #anchorhitch #multihulls #thehitcher #sailing #catamarans #sailinglife #knots #sailingknots #ropes #bestknots #multihull #knot #boats #yachts #catamaran #rope #instaknots #seamanship #katamarans
