Bill, go back and read what is written in the Collision Regulations. I
have tried to make your feeble brain understand what is written, but you
are
too dense to comprehend the regulations. Admiralty Law, in this
definition of "sailing vessel" has been set by precedence. Period!
There
is no argument with set law! Did you get that Bill? If not, keep
rereading until you can comprehend.

Maybe we should take a collection and send Bill to a Power Squadron
course.
I'm sure his fellow boaters would thank us.

Motor running, power boat. How is that sailboat going to prove he did not
have the motor in gear, or that any forward motion was not from the
propeller? In other words, under your definition, the sailboat kicks the
tranny into neutral, just before he hits another boat without sails. He is
not responsible as he was a sailboat? Better not try it.
