71 hours, 14 hours, 18 mins, 33 seconds Well congratulations to her. Setting that record is quite a feat. Just getting to the point of starting out with a boat & gear capable of attempting the record is an accomplishment, getting the boat around the world without major mishap takes great skill & a tremendous amount of work... and she gets the reward of setting the record. She deserves the accolade! Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
The official crime:
MacArthur's journey began Nov. 28. Since then, she has slept an average of 30 minutes at a time and four hours in any day. In other words she did not comply with the COLREGS where it states the following: Rule 5 Look-out Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight as well as by hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision. She should be arrested! CN "Wally" wrote in message k... 71 hours, 14 hours, 18 mins, 33 seconds -- Wally www.artbywally.com www.wally.myby.co.uk |

Sorry, they are international rules. The US has a slightly modified
version for inland waters. From the introduction to the US edition: INTRODUCTION International Rules The International Rules in this book were formalized in the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, and became effective on July 15, 1977. The Rules (commonly called 72 COLREGS) are part of the Convention, and vessels flying the flags of states ratifying the treaty are bound to the Rules. The United States has ratified this treaty and all United States flag vessels must adhere to these Rules where applicable. President Gerald R. Ford proclaimed 72 COLREGS and the Congress adopted them as the International Navigational Rules Act of 1977. The 72 COLREGS were developed by the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO) which in May 1982 was renamed the International Maritime Organization (IMO). In November 1981, IMO’s Assembly adopted 55 amendments to the 72 COLREGS which became effective on June 1, 1983. The IMO also adopted 9 more amendments which became effective on November 19, 1989. The International Rules in this book contain these amendments. These Rules are applicable on waters outside of established navigational lines of demarcation. The lines are called COLREGS Demarcation Lines and delineate those waters upon which mariners shall comply with the Inland and International Rules. COLREGS Demarcation Lines are contained in this book. And single handers have been held liable when their lack of a lookout is the cause of a collision. Here's the court ruling from such a case: http://207.41.17.117/ISYSquery/IRLF610.tmp/1/doc Remco Moedt wrote: On Mon, 7 Feb 2005 19:59:05 -0500, =?Windows-1252?Q?Capt._Neal=AE?= wrote: The official crime: MacArthur's journey began Nov. 28.

Yes, the Colregs apply everywhere (for the countries that signed up, which is just about all of them). They are allowed minor variations in coastal waters, which some countries, such as the US and Canada, have implemented. The significant differences concern towing barges on rivers. The only major difference in the US Inland Rules that affect boats is that the rules concerning "constrained by draft" have been eliminated in the US version. |
