A question to \'the management\'

The question of whether a sailing vessel with engine running is 'legally' still a sailing vessel has provided hours of endless amusement below.

Is this a suitable topic for a 'learned' article in the mag?

Could be...it's certainly a source of friction too. I'll mail your post to Paul Gelder.

Short article.

Yes or no, with no doubt a caveat which fills the rest of the page.

Bit like a bank reference really.

I would have thought "no" Ken.

If the engines running then you have all the flexibility of manouvre that this brings - which I assume is what it's all about.

I can't quite see the ambiguity you mention - perhaps you could enlighten me.

I recall somewhere in the dim and distant past it remains a sailing vessel until it's in gear, then you have to run and hoist a cone and behave like a stinkie.

Geoff,

See "near collision" and "sail or power" threads for elucidation.

(hope you've got a hi-speed link to the web!)

Nice idea Ken

But beware of spoiling a argument with facts
