Re: [Electric Boats] sailing rules

 

Larry:   Some of us do not have comply with the regulations for dayshapes when motoring with a sailboat  because of this wording in the rules and regulations:   "Vessels less than 12 meters are not required to exhibit the dayshape in inland waters." At least I don't. At night it is a different story I DO put on the "steaming" light when motoring with the sail up. --- On Wed, 10/27/10, larry <pfister.l@verizon.net> wrote: From: larry <pfister.l@verizon.net> Subject: [Electric Boats] sailing rules To: electricboats@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, October 27, 2010, 3:58 PM   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?
