Re: [Electric Boats] sailing rules

 

There is no question..  if  nay  motor is  driving the prop.. you are a power boat  under the rules.

I'd say if your prop is turning with current from your battery or generator you are a power driven vessel.

Subject: [Electric Boats] sailing rules

 

recently there has been a lot of discussion about sailing with the motor running.

Does anyone know where do we stand with the navigation rules, are we power or sail?
from

"RULE 3
General Definitions
For the purpose of these Rules, except where the context otherwise
requires:
(a) The word "Vessel" includes every description of water craft,
including nondisplacement craft and seaplanes, used or capable of
being used as a means of transportation on water.
(b) The term "Power-driven vessel" means any vessel propelled by
machinery.
(c) The term "sailing vessel" means any vessel under sail provided
that propelling machinery, if fitted, is not being used."

is there something out there that covers us or are we power boats?
