Avoiding Mistakes: Japanese Boat Ownership Guidelines

I have spent countless hours, no, days and weeks trying to figure out how to legally sail my bot Japanese Registered sail boat offshore and to Canada. I naively thought that I could buy the boat of my choice and sail off into the sunset. Not so. At least not in Japan. This video is simply a summary of what I have learned so far. I realize that it is a unique subject and most will not be interested but in case there are others who are considering buying a Japanese boat to take offshore, I thought I would compile my thoughts in this video.

While I am trying to navigate the Japanese and Canadian rules viz a viz pleasure boats, I am sailing the coast line of Japan experiencing its wonderfully secluded and beautiful harbors seeing Japan from a different perspective. I have cycled much of Japan`s coastline so to see those challenging hills from the `comfort` of the sea is fun!.

I hope this video is helpful to some and is not meant to discourage but simply inform and perhaps enable someone to have an easier process of it than me.
