Default My seamanship question #5

A tall ship's sailing down a narrow channel. It has

fair winds and most of its sails up.
It's in international waters. It has a black cylinder

displayed which means it's C.B.D.
A Coast Guard inflatable pulls up along side. It hails the

captain of the tall ship and tells
him he's breaking the rules because sailboats can't show

the black cylinder. The captain
smirks and says he's using the motor too. The Coast Guard

writes him a ticket because he's
in violation of another rule. What other rule did he

violate.


Was he smoking a joint at the time?
