It says the only exception to the rule is motorboats under 26 feet with no
enclosed spaces. A 30.5 foot sailboat is not an open motorboat under 26 feet.
ALL boats over 26 feet require at least one B-II extinguisher or two B-I
regardless of whether or not they are open.

Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Three more Stupid Points for Rusty. The clause
you're referring to is for "motorboats." As in "boats with motors."
There is no place where they mention sailboats.


So, your contention is that there are no regulations for sailboats? Sailboats
over 26 feet do not have any CG requirements for safety equipment? Okay Jaxie!

You're the one being Jaxian here. I'm saying the federal regs don't
require a fire extinguisher for open sailboats. In fact, 46CFR
SubChapter C (which you quote) specifically says in the intro that it
only has provisions for sailboats that carry passengers for hire, so
it doesn't apply.

Now you're putting words in my mouth claiming that I say that there
are no requirements for safety equipment on sailboat over 26 feet.
You seen to have a serious reading problem, perhaps you should seek
medical attention.
