i made a point of learning the rules of the "road" when i began operating watercraft (first a powerboat, then a sailboard, then sailboats). i know the rules and i follow them. i agree that the rules apply to us all. i don't think we need more regulations, just enforcement of the ones we have. i wonder how many powerboaters can say that they have been cut off or run into by a sailboat when the sailboat was a fault?
