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

On side note. I grew up sailing on my dad’s C 27 in British Columbia. On one
cruise, I read a book by Canadian author Farley Mowat called The Boat
Same. Have had a voyage to St Pierre and Miquelon on the bucket list
since I was a kid, thanks to Farley Mowat. I reread that book last summer,
and enjoyed it just as much as I did back in the 70s, and probably laughed
even more.

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 see the law is 12 months, then pay duty. I spoke to Henry about this and got
his take on the situation, but also spoke to people in the Halifax area who
made essentially the same points. And even still, the law precludes what I want

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
Andrew,
I am interested to know more about this CDN Luxury Tax on US boats here
in Canada for a period of time. I can't find anything on the CDN Govt
websites on the law.
Do you have a source/ website, anything I can use to get started on
finding out the specifics?
Anything would help.

When the US imposed the luxury tax in the 90's or whenever
There’s also a newish Canadian law that taxes US boats if they are in Canada
for more than a short amount of time. It has put several yards out of business,
including a friend in NS who used to work on and store a bunch of US boats very
winter.
It put the kibosh on my plans to cruise to Bras
