Default Boat Safety - and thread arguments

Of course not. Only intersted in Recreational craft.


I have 2 workboats, approx 30' LOA, with twin 225HP o/bs. They're
commercially registered (in survey). I have a 12' sailing dinghy with a
sometimes used 2HP o/b that's not registered at all, and doesn't have
to be.

Now, which is capable of inflicting more damage? Which would your
proposed rule apply to?

You're really not thinking this through. I strongly suspect you chant
the 'if it saves one life, it's worth it' mantra at every opportunity.

Any analogy with cars doesn't really hold as far as I can see. Perhaps
you'd care to be more specific. Then we'll see if the logic actually
applies to boats.
