Apply For a Boat Loan

By Kondwani Nyangulu

Acquiring boat loans is a great way to finance the purchase of a new or used boat. From small powerboats to larger sailboats, boat loans offer boaters a wonderful way to purchase their boat and be well on their way to enjoying this favorite pastime. There are a few different finance options which prospective borrowers can consider with regard to boat loans. Each has pros and cons associated with it and it is up to the borrower to choose the loan which is right for their specific financial situation.

Secured Loan Offered by a Lender Dealing Specifically with Boat Loans

One loan option for borrowers to ponder when it comes to obtaining finances to pay for their sea craft is a secured loan offered by a lender which deals specifically with loans of this type. Similar to a car loan, the lender will provide financing for the boat purchase and in turn will have a secured interest in the boat itself. Therefore, if the borrower fails to pay their monthly payments consistently the lender is able to repossess the boat as a result.

This type of loan is beneficial in that it provides the borrower with a loan which often times will have a favorable interest rate attached to it. Since the lender will have a security interest in the boat, they are able to repossess the item for lack of payment and will be more likely to offer a lower interest rate than if the loanwas unsecured. The borrower may like the fact that the interest rate is lower with this type of loan than any other variety of boat loans. However, this can also be a negative thing in the eyes of a borrower when they consider that they will always stand a chance of losing the boat should they fail to make their payments in a timely manner.

Unsecured Loan Offered by a Variety of Lenders

Another finance option for individuals interested in buying a new boat is to obtain an unsecured loan. Unsecured loans are available through a wide variety of lenders. Basically, the one who is interested in obtaining money in the way of boat loans will apply for a general loan with a lender and either be approved or denied for the loan. The loan is not specifically geared towards one purchase or another and the borrower is able to use the money not only for a boat purchase but may be able to purchase other items as well.

The benefit to obtaining this type of loan is that there is no security interest on the boat itself and the bank cannot repossess the item. However, the borrower may have to pay a higher interest rate than they would with secured boat loans. Either way, the borrower must review the terms of the boat loans to determine which loan is right for them.

Yacht lengths generally start at 32�35 feet (10�11 m) and go up to hundreds of feet. A mega yacht generally refers to any yacht (sail or power) above 100' or 34 m and a super yacht generally refers to any yacht over 200' or 70 m. This size is small in relation to typical cruise liners and oil tankers.

Sailing equipment is an important part of the purchase of a new or second-hand boat. It is one of those things where you can spend as much money as you wish on equipment for your new cruiser or sailing yacht, so you must give yourself a budget. Obviously, there is a set of essential equipment that all water goers must have, but then there are different sets of equipment required, dependent on whether you will be messing around locally or being more adventurous with long off-shore trips.

Your boat�s seaworthiness can depend on the load you put in it and where you put it. Too much weight can overload your boat and cause it to become unstable or allow small waves to come aboard. It will also reduce the amount your boat can roll before its sides dip under. Weight that is carried too high will reduce stability, making your boat more apt to roll and less inclined to return to an upright position

Yacht "No Komis" Epirb Activated - Indonesia

Thu, 6 Dec 2007 10:43:49 +0200
We just got this message from a friend's wife. Her husband's EPIRB (Yacht NO KOMIS) went off and he dropped off the nets and e-mail. The local SAR does not seem to have many assets/capabilities. We don't know Indonesia very well, anyone have any suggestions as to any other actions she should take?



"Great to hear from you and get the photos. Life is stressful for me right now. Terry and his yacht "No Komis" are the subject of a search by Search & Rescue, Indonesia. The EPIRB went off last Saturday afternoon, transmitted for about 25 hours and stopped. There has been no Sailmail since Nov 28. Terry was leaving the next day for a brief overnight passage of 100nm. This could be a series of events, none serious, but then again, who knows. Any one thing is no problem, but putting them together does make you wonder what has happened. ......"
