Bill, you really need to read the Rules of the Road section of the
colregs... really.... just read them and get back to us.

Answer my questions if you can. And refer to the Colregs as to why that
sailboater with the engine running is a sailboat.

Everyone knows its not a sailboat, but it is most often, a very
underpowered powerboat with limited maneuvering ability, a deeper draft
than the average powerboat and more affected by the wind (even with the
sails down).

Everyone does not seem to know it is a powerboat. And as to the rest of the
stuff, means nada.
