One is licensed so one can operate the various types of vessels
defined in the COLREGS. That makes the COLREGS an integral
part of the use of said licenses. One is tested on one's knowledge
of the COLREGS and NOT on some other set of Rules or regulations.

Don't try to tell me the COLREGS have nothing to do with licenses.
The COLREGS have everything to do with licenses. License endorsements
such as a sail endorsement are based on testing for knowledge in
those areas but the tests still rely in large part on knowledge of
the COLREGS.

We have no problem grasping the difference between a motorboat and a
sailboat. YOU, on the other hand, have a total problem with the
difference between COLREGS and licensing.

Aliens are not defined by the COLREGS like motor vessels
and sail boats are. Your question is non sequitur.

Under the COLREGS, vessels are identified by lights and
shapes. A vessel showing three red lights in vertical row, for
example identifies itself as a CBD. A vessel showing a
red/white/red in a row one atop the other is a RAM and
so on.

In the same manner, an aux/sailboat showing a steaming light
by night and a cone by day identifies itself as a motorboat. It
matters not if the sails are providing the propulsion. As long as
there is machinery operating it's legally a motorboat according
to the Rules.

Why is this simple fact so hard for you knuckle heads to grasp?

The cone makes you a motor boat.

If I wear a fake alien mask, does that make me an alien?

This comment is so far off that it casts serious doubt on whether you actually hold a
license. Licenses are issued for various classes of boats listed in 46CFR, not the
ColRegs. There is no connection.

One is tested on one's knowledge
of the COLREGS and NOT on some other set of Rules or regulations.


Now you're actually admitting that you didn't take all the tests! Amazing! Although
one is not required to memorize the various parts of the CFR, they are part of the test.
One should be familiar enough with 46CFR to quickly find the answer to any questions.
These are the regulations that govern ones behavior as a licensed Master.

Don't try to tell me the COLREGS have nothing to do with licenses.
The COLREGS have everything to do with licenses.

The test covering the ColRegs is one of 4 tests. It has a reputation as being hard
because its closed book, but people have just as much trouble with the other tests.

License endorsements
such as a sail endorsement are based on testing for knowledge in
those areas but the tests still rely in large part on knowledge of
the COLREGS.

Wrong. You'd know this if you had taken the test.

So now you are trying to pull an insanity defense, right.

Won't work, Nil, you just keep making yourself look even worse and even
more ignorant - as if that were possible!

Bwahahahahahahaahahah What a panic stricken loser wannabe ...

One is tested on ones knowledge of the COLREGS, for any license, but the
requirements for any license are totally separate from COLREGS and in
no way dependent or related, there too.

COLREGS are only one part of the test ( obviously a part you still have
a problem with). The COLREGS, do not determine what ANY governing body
will class as requirements for different grades of license.

ROFL You're beginning to sound like some rabbit, running scared,
because even YOUR simple brain can realize you're walking on thin ice.
