Recreational boating presents more than its fair share of legal
hazards. An unsuspecting buyer may discover too late that the yacht
is encumbered by secret maritime liens incurred by a previous
owner. A marine insurer may deny coverage for a total loss based on
a seemingly innocent misrepresentation in the insurance
application. A boat owner may mistakenly believe that a rescue from
a grounding is covered by a prepaid towage plan, when in fact the
rescuer will be making a very expensive claim for marine salvage.
These and other dilemmas unique to maritime law appear repeatedly
in the court decisions relating to recreational boating. This book
focuses on those maritime law issues that are most likely to affect
the typical recreational boater. It explains the legal concepts in
plain language, giving examples from reported cases. Where
possible, the author provides practical advice on how to avoid the
most-common pitfalls. It is a guide for all those in the
recreational boating industry who want a better understanding of
maritime law, and even for lawyers looking for a primer in this
very specialized area of the law.
