While it's laughable to use the Oxford English Dictionary to reach for
conclusions in maritime law, I agree with Navvieİ here. A kitesurfer is
covered by the ColRegs as a sailing vessel, as is a windsurfer, as is a
dugout canoe with a big leafy branch sticking up.

Why all the disagreement? Seems pretty obvious. I never thought straining
at gnats after swallowing a camel would be such a popular pastime.
