AFAIK the COLREGS only apply to American waters (correct me when I'm
wrong, but somehow I've a feeling I don't need to ask this g)

Oh dear!! We've got another one who didn't study geography at school.

I don't see what geography has to do with it.

The International Collregs are not related to the "World Series".

Hehe

Believe it or not, the international regulations actually apply to waters
that are not officially under US jurisdiction.

I do understand that now. My problem was that I didn't understand if
the COLREGS was the American variant of the international rules (like
BVA (Bepalingen ter voorkoming van aanvaring op zee) in the
Netherlands), or the international rules itself. Jeff cleared that up
for me.

Please don't tell GWB about this.

Of course not!


Cheers!
