The Law of Yachts and Yachting
is the first comprehensive and detailed monograph entirely dedicated to the study of the English law relating to the ownership and operation of yachts. It does not focus on the leisure market or competitive yacht racing, but is primarily intended for use by lawyers, yacht-brokers, yacht-builders, researchers and others concerned with the legal aspects of the construction, operation and use of professionally crewed motor and sailing yachts: the specialist world of superyachts. The law in this niche area is complex and fragmented, very much like a cubist painting which may only be thoroughly understood when looked at in its entirety and in a proper context by an expert eye. This is what this books aims to do.
