Still it would make travelling around Europe on foot or by boat easier.

In order to be registered on Part 1, as that form you linked to shows, you have to have what is called a "representative person" in the UK. This is basically just somebody to act as a local mailbox - ie there needs to be a UK address to send stuff to. It can be anybody at all and you can even use a mail forwarding service.

There is absolutely no requirement for the owners to live in the UK at all or themselves have a UK address as long as they are British citizens (or citizens of places like the BVIs, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar etc and some people from Hong Kong).

I am talking about a British Registered Ship.... nada mas

Here is a link to a different thread. Stick with it, because eventually there is a copy of an e-mail from someone at AMSA, and what you learn there may well affect what your decision will be.
