On a motorcycle trip to The Cabot Trail on Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 
the late '90s, I was thrilled to see Farley's boat -- Happy Adventure -- 
AKA The Boat Who Wouldn't Float. She was sitting on the hard, badly 
shored up with a broken back, as a tourist attraction outside a 
restaurant.



Here's a link to a site with a photo of her there:

On side note. I grew up sailing on my dad’s C&C 27 in British Columbia. 
On one cruise, I read a book by Canadian author Farley Mowat called The 
Boat Who Wouldn’t Float, about a pair of fellows buying and converting a 
small fishing schooner in Newfoundland.

I don't think it is easy to stay in the US for more than 12 month either.  But 
you only have to leave and go to another country for 15 days, then you can 
return and start the clock over again.  I'm not sure what the similar rule is 
for Canada.

Andy - you might need to make a short trip to st Pierre and Miquelon.  
Eurozone VAT is similar I believe, non-paid boats need to leave briefly and 
return to reset the clock (or pay) and paid boats can’t be gone too long or 
they lose their paid status.  I think I see a retirement gig in the med in my 
future!

 Further to this, it appears some of Henry's American clients had kept their 
boats in Canada continuously for up to 18 years without ever actually 
officially importing them, so never paid import duties:

  In the long run, the rules were not changed, and this didn't seem to have any

 The "short amount of time" Andrew refers to is one full year (12 months).  The 
``newish" law Andrew referred to has been on the books for at least 20 years ( 
I think since the fall of 1998) but has been spottily enforced. In theory, US 
boats are not supposed to overwinter (stay longer than 12 months) in Canada 
without being legally imported and paying duty. But there’s an exception. If a 
boat needs repairs, it may stay—and the repairs, maintenance and storage of 
such yachts has been the core business of Henry Fuller of the Cape Breton Boat 
Yard in Baddeck, Nova Scotia. And though the necessary “repairs” may not have 
been very extensive, customs officers have never been very exacting about the 
matter. 
  For many years quite a number of American boats spent years on end in Canada 
without being officially imported, using this loophole that allowed the boats 
to remain here if "major overhaul" and other large shipyard related jobs were 
being done to them.  The intention of this rule was to allow shipyards to bid 
on large projects without having to worry about import duties if the job 
stretched out beyond 12 months. Legitimate large repairs can be extended beyond 
12 months, up to as long as four years (48 months) if required, and permission 
for the extension(s) is granted. 
  This loophole was being abused as many of these boats were really just having 
light seasonal maintenance done.  Henry Fuller made a public issue of it back 
in the fall of 2013 and so drew the attention of the government agency tasked 
with enforcing the law, forcing their hand so enforcement increased as a 
result.
