Another interesting thing, outside the boundary line a sailing school
must have a licensed master. However, on inland waters....get
this........ there are a few states that all you need is the state's
"Guides & Packers" license. No uscg master or oupv needed on inland
waters for sailing lessons. Just think YMCA summer sailing lessons...
as an example

I'm guessing these "inland waters" are actually State regulated bodies of
water that are not covers by the US Inland rules. This would include most
of the lakes in New England, for example, where the camps are.

These state rules are often quite different, and will include things like
"human powered vessels have right of way over sailboats," which are
totally ignored by the ColRegs or Inland Rules.

Well, not completely... Rule 25

see page 72 of Navigation Rules... Sailing Vessels Underway and Vessels
Under Oars :-)
