Hmmmmmm It would appear from the below, that you are finally admitting
your error regarding "stand-on" status for sailboats, in fog .... though
typically you are endeavoring to make it look like you were never in error.
Do us all a favor, stay in Tampa bay and studiously avoid any channels
or areas where other traffic may be ...... we'll all feel safer.

in a fog. I thought it important that you guys became
aware of rule changes so you wouldn't be an even
bigger hazard to navigation than you already are.

Thanks for the link. However, I see nothing there which in any way
references anything about modified Rules regarding "give-way vessels in
restricted visibility", but, eg would love to read your interpretation
that says otherwise.

pay particular attention to the modified Rule as to give-way
vessels in restricted visibility.

I'm assuming they are referring to the type craft (extensively developed
in the old USSR) which DO have a wing of sorts.

If you could, Kind Sir, please explain the mentality that changed the

Effect Craft don't even have a wing. Those that do have wings, certainly
don't have them touching the ground or in the ground!

Why the Hell do they do that? Then have to include a write up of what is
a "WIG" is in the ruless

Ground effects craft are an up and comming conveyance. There are
plans for all sorts of craft both commercial and private that will fly
in grounds effects above the surface of the water but will not be
able to fly at altitudes out of the ground effects because of their
design. This class of vessels is really not an airplane and really
not a boat thus the new designation. Can you imagine the
horror of these things flying along at 100 miles an hour five or
six feet above the water. It's gonna be scarey folks!
