Charles Vane his origins are uncertain.
Another of the others, who toured the waters of the Caribbean, was Charles Vane. His origins are uncertain, but it is known that he served aboard one of the ships of the Scottish privateer Lord Archibald Hamilton. Later he made his own brig (a boat with a square or round sail and two masts, the main and the ratchet. At that time, he had up to 15 oars per side) called the Ranger. He became leader of the Republic of Pirates in Nassau, where he carried his reputation as a torturer, bloodthirsty and arbitrary forged from the sea. Even with his own men, he did not abide by the code of piracy. His navigation skills and military strategy enabled his formidable reign of terror.
Change your ways or face the consequences.
When King George I issued the Edict of Forgiveness, a pardon for all pirates who decided to return to an honest life, it is said that Charles repudiated the idea. The king then sent the frigate HMS Fénix to Nassau with the captain in an attempt to convince him to change his ways. The effort was in vain, so Charles set up a brulote (old boat loaded with explosives) as the answer. In a couple of weeks, he prepared himself with Calico Jack and Eduard England for the next Pirate hit.
Calico Jack operated in the Bahamas during the War of the Spanish Succession. Later, in a ragged attack on a frigate that turned out to be a French Navy ship, Vane abandoned his men, leading to his deposition. With a small group of pirates, he seized five boats and went to the Bay of Honduras via the Windward Islands but a hurricane left him shipwrecked for several days until he was found by a British ship. Vane was discovered and taken to Jamaica in the Caribbean, where he was tried and hanged. Shortly after his death, the golden age of piracy came to an end. Today, Charles Vane is now a character in video games and movies. His legend continues.
Calico Jack
Charles Vane was followed by Jack Rackham, also known as “Calico” Jack, for the patterned cotton cloth (calico) he wore. He countered her little naval knowledge and physical fighting skills, cunningly employing backstabbing diplomacy. Calico Jack is associated as the first pirate to hoist and terrorize the Jolly Roger, the black skull flag with two cross-shaped tibiae, the insignia of piracy. However, it is claimed that each pirate had their own variation of the same flag.
For many people, a day out on a yacht can be a life-changing experience. surprisingly few have ever been sailing a yacht of 15 metres. A professional skipper keeps everyone safe and will encourage all participants to have a go at steering the yacht under sail. Some find taking the helm very easy while others simply have no sense of direction.

As boats under ten years old with one private owner and a full-service history become almost as rare as rocking horse sh…t, you might find yourself considering the purchase of an ex-charter yacht. After all that is said about working boats, an ex charter yacht can offer a better level of equipment for the same price than the one used privately.
Depending on the manufacturer, you will not be a million miles out evaluating its current value, providing it is in excellent condition. Put another way, privately owned yachts in good condition are not falling in value. A few one owner Yachts with an impeccable service history have gone up in value over the last ten years. So an ex-charter yacht in good condition might not be as cheap as you think, but generally, an allowance for wear will be made by the seller.
Consider this, before buying an Ex-Charter yacht from 
Almost a subject worthy of a separate blog post. I would always recommend a decent broker to inspect yacht paperwork. Often VAT is not paid when a boat is first put into service but, worryingly this lack of payment is sometimes not recorded correctly.
No flag registration guarantees that all taxes are paid unless it says they are in black and white. Certainly, the Dutch registration system is not even recognised in Spain, Italy or Portugal for none residents.
Try not to employ a surveyor who exaggerates acceptable wear in his report. Not so easy if you do not know a lot about boats. You could ask to see a selection of reports they produced in the past? If you do this, make sure the comments balance with final recommendations. I have seen reports that reasonably describe yachts only to condemn them in summing up.
you might not have budgeted for. From a sellers perspective, you are buying a used boat. Do not expect it in new condition for the price of a used boat. This is where a good surveyor can help to explain reality.
The day has come to collect your yacht. Very obviously, when you own a yacht, you must pay for the parking space. It is always good to ensure the space that the yacht occupies is available for a short time after purchase. Delivery to its new home by road or sea is a well-trodden route. If the journey is long, I would always pick the by road transport option over a delivery skipper if at all possible. At least you are in with a good chance of receiving a yacht in the same condition you last saw if you received it by truck.
localised weather, unexpected moderate waves can travel great distances before losing their energy. Worry about the ever-present danger of being hit by a wave, especially when that wave can catch an unsuspecting crew member off guard. Talking about the unexpected wave danger as part of a Skippers safety briefing. Fortunately, rouge waves are less frequent in summer months but do exist all year round.
