€ 3,69

Various options for importation from the USA (also applicable to other countries) are discussed. The authors personal experience in the process is drawn upon and includes several perfectly legal, money saving tips like offshore delivery and taking advantage of the Australian/USA free trade agreement.

Four distinct chapters address selection of a boat with analysis of what passage makers and live aboards are sailing, (everything), checklists for inspection, inspection topics, purchase procedures, fitting out and financial comparisons on three methods of importation.

Sounds serious but is also fun and entertaining.
