<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;does one leave the territorial waters of the UK to boat from UK to <br/>
&gt;Northern Ireland?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote> From memory, the closest point between the UK mainland and Northern <br/>
Ireland is around 20 miles, and as the UK claims a 12-mile territorial sea, <br/>
it should be possible to cross entirely within territorial waters.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;I read that the Isle of Man has no territorial waters<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I believe a 12-mile territorial sea is claimed around the Isle of Man, but <br/>
I&#39;m afraid I don&#39;t know whether this is considered to be its own waters or <br/>
an extension of the UK&#39;s.<br/>
