RYA Bill of ale . and . Agreement for the sale and purchase of a boat

To keep it Monday Morning simple, which forms do I need to fill in please ? It's a sale to joint ownership (me and daughter) not co-ownership, as recommended by experienced forum members previously.


Also,looking through the boat's previous documentation, the price paid at one stage appears to have been £1. Is this some historical legal function and if so is it still valid ?

Probably 'yes'. When I sold my previous boat the price paid on Bill of Sale was "£1 and other consideration."

If you're going for Part 1 registry, you will most likely need to use the latest MCA bill of sale which was revised in November 2018, After the end of February this year, the ships register is not accepting any old style bill of sale.
The current BoS form is available at this link: https://assets.publishing.service.g. ile/763143/MSF_4705_Rev_1118_Bill_of_Sale.pdf

The new form is now 4 pages, but unless you have multiple joint owners (more than you can fit on the first page) you will not need pages 3 & 4. It is best to print page 1 & 2 double sided.

If you download the BoS form to your computer, you should then be able to open the BoS Pdf, then on the right hand side you should see 'Fill & Sign', click on this and then you can click on the fields on the form and type in the correct details.

It is quite usual to use the words: One Pound and Other Considerations
Also, in the shares box, the words are: 64/64 share, All Sixty Four Shares
If there are two vendors, there should be two different witnesses, unrelated to the vendors

I hope this helps, feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
