You could save a lot of confusion if you made it clear up front that
the COLREGS you are hosting is the USA local modification of the IRPCS.
This is a newsgroup with a worldwide community and many of us have no
need or desire to learn USA local rules until we intend to visit your
waters. Is there any chance you can find a 'clean' copy of the
international rules to host on your site?


I expect most countries have some local mods to the International
Rule.

The Canadian ColRegs are available at
http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/S-9/C.R...416/index.html
(we don't have the Inland Rules that the US has, so ours are probably
closer to the International Rule - and they do state where they
deviate.)
