I beleive that's the authority upon which the USCG relies when they
ask for Chart #1 in inland waters. Trailer boats are generally not
included in the requirement. The law reads 39 feet and up, (my boat is
39 LOA) and the check list reads 26 feet and up.

Chart #1 contains a copy of the navigation rules ?

No, it doesn't. However, I was asked to produce a copy of it during
the inspection. The only thing I can figure is that the reference to
rules is very liberally interpreted by the USCG boarding parties.
Nothing else in the list of requirements even comes close.
