Buying in US to liveaboard..

Hi Everyone!
I plan to buy a Tayana 37 in the US, to liveboard and cruise, mainly Med/Carib, and sometimes quick visits to the UK, for a guinness, then I'll be off again..

Do I have to pay VAT/import tax, when I reach the EU? Even though I will be visiting temporarily?
And do I have to comply with this CE/RCD thing that I read about?

Would it simplify things if I were to register her outside the EU? Is it even possible?, or do I have to register under the UK flag, as I am a UK citizen. I understand I can register her as foreign company owned, but I don't want the complications involved with this.

Any advice gratefully received!
Regards, Mark.
