Carrying all of this to its silly extreme, you now blithely motorsail along with your cone up until some awkward right-of-way situation arises, at which point you strike your cone and put your engine in neutral to reassert your rights. That's why the rules say that you become a powerboat when your engine is on, not just when your engine is in gear. Otherwise you could just shift into neutral whenever it was convenient. Convenient to what? CAUSE a collision? |
