You make some excellent points. ASA basic/bareboat/coastal/offshore had ZERO value. Even my ownership of my own yacht..ZERO. The fact that I was raised on a family owned livery...ZERO again. in Greece. To some extent can be blamed on "protectionism" in the Greek Islands and Croatia.

for more in depth foreign rules, there are other sites for that conversation. About the only thing that is still relatively easy is renting a canal boat/barge.
