AGREE. I follow a few sailing channels. Lady K is one I always catch. I've been sailing all my life. I don't know it all, but I know a bit. I scratch my head more times on this channel than many of the others. I guess it is a style, but with this video, I've had enough of it. Never looks good for an expert to be slinging mud all over the place.

It's not Granada it's Grenada. Pronounced grenade ah. I'm here in Grenada right now in anticipation of Sailing Week racing on a Leopard 47

Yup!! Gren-Nay-Dah.... At least that's how it's pronounced in Grenada, where English is the official language. You are pronouncing it in Spanish..... Google is fine, but not always to be trusted.... you ding-dong!!!

Not sure what language pronounces gren that way. Maybe French? Not English or Spanish. Otherwise, it is a good enough plan to buy where you are going to sail. The downside or at least a consideration is fixing a boat and getting parts is rough. This is compounded if you don't speak the local language well.

It's Spanish morphed into French. Named after the city Granada (Grah-nah-dah) in southern Spain, the island was originally named Concepcion by Cristopher Columbus during his third trip. Somehow (the background is vague), it got renamed Granada, after the city. Then the French arrived, and named it La Grenada, a name that sticks around in its neighbors, The Grenadines. Finally, in 1794, the English took possession, maintaining control until 1958. English became the official language, and in English La Grenada, became Grenada, pronounced the same as one would the thrown explosive. And now you know the rest of the story :)

How do I buy a boat down there and avoid taxes if I’m Canadian?

Really enjoyed being informed by this content… great logical presentation concerning buying in Grenada and island hoping the way north… makes sense

I'm buying my first boat in September. I will be using Chris to help me purchase and register the boat. Just this video alone just made me aware of the tax breaks and already potentially saved me thousands. Talk soon,Chris 😊

Great info. I got it installed and also found kmz files from the NWS to overlay marine advisories. I screwed up and posted this on the wrong vid! Thanks!

What cost (estimate) would you say it would cost to sail a 50ft beneteau from caribean to Perth Australia? If one is an Australian citizen, and buy a boat in caribean, can one register the boat somewhere else and thus cut down on tax / vat?

You crack me up! Thanks for the information.

Looking forward to sailing with you

Great advice and bloody funny to boot. 😎👍

Do you have go through customs / ports of entry when moving between carribean countries ?

Another great video!

repair boats can be fine, but beware boats repaired from hurricane damage because the folks doing the repairs are flooded with work all at once and are in a rush. shoddy repairs are a real thing. especially for charter companies. it can be handled, but takes some extra work. a boat repaired from an everyday grounding not right after a hurricane is less risky.

Youre a riot Chris! Thanks!

Also how do we get ahold of you?

Thanks. Very interesting. But please don't criticise other peoples pronunciation. In the UK we pronounce both different to you and it could be argued that Granada and Caribbean should be pronounced the UK way rather than the US as you do. Also please avoid my pet hate, the unnecessary use of "literally" overused, particularly by the teens, when there is no doubt that your head "metaphorically" exploded, not literally.

I think this emphasis was done for comedic effect-or affect, and to literally annoy those who obsess over Oxford commas and grammatically accurate statements on KZread videos where the occasional errors are made even within run-on statements made in comment sections, this is usually done to belittle someone else to make one appear bigger or better than others. Then again I could be wrong-maybe it just literally annoys him to no end. either way it’s his channel and no one is forced to watch it. 😊 this is supposed to be fun

Sir! Why are you so bloody negative and critical of other KZreadrs? Knock it off! If you listen to any US TV reporter talk about Grenada, you will ALWAYS hear them refer to “Gren-Ay-Dah”.

But they weren't trying to upload a new video every week. Now Delos is building a new aluminum catamaran....wonder how they got all that money. 🙄 I mean, good for them. Brian is a legit blue water sailor. But they don't share the same information that Christopher here does.

So could you not buy a boat cheap in Grenada, and sell it in USA for a profit? 🤔

This plan only works for the rich. The trip back to the states will cost 30k and that’s not paying a captain. If you’re married the trip will end your marriage. Basically if you don’t have 100k minimum for the boat and another 30k to get boat back… There is a ton of boats there and they are less money but once the rest of costs are added.

I helped a friend bring a boat back from the BVI. Not as far down the chain as Grenada, but nonetheless it was much less than that. If the boat isn't registered in the US, there can be additional expenses, but if you find one that is, it can be a good deal. He made a nice profit when he sold the boat.
