Bart yougotta assign the question number andthe points.

First one: You are out sailing (your own boat) put the rudder over and
find out you don't have one. What do you do?

Rig the emergency rudder system


Second One: Out of sight of land you find out your GPS, Radar, Radio(s),
Sextant, and any other mechanical, electric, or electronicnavigational means
(presuming you have them to begin with) quit working. What do you do -
first,second,third etc? What do you have to fall back on? How do you
navigate to a safe landfall?

Does this include the compass? If so, make a new one and sail the
latitude to land.


Third one: What distance do you maintain from a) large freighters or
tankers underway and b) government ships underway or anchored/docked?

This question depends on where they are. In the Panama you don't get
alot of choice for example.


Fourth One: Overseas we have Threat Condition Levels. In the US you all
have the color code system. What new system applies to all vessels afloat
when did it take effect?


Never heard that one. Are we at war?
