I have researched this a bit and come to these conclusions..

I will have to pay vat when I reach EU waters, no matter how long I've been away, but can pay the vat in the Azores, where it's less, at 12.5% {I wonder if vat is less in the French Caribbean Islands, and I could pay the vat there...}

RCD..
proof of being in EU waters before 1998, would be for example, marina/boatyard repair receipts. This includes French/Dutch Isles in Carib.

If no proof/not visited EU, then RCD certification required, costs about 2-5K for this size boat. [37']
That would be to do it all by the book... I'm not sure I would bother with the RCD.. it seems unlikely to be caught without a certificate, and not really a problem unless I wanted to sell the boat in the EU, when it would be impossible without. But plenty of other places to sell if I wanted too..

Regards, Mark.
