But...if you are at an event which uses foreign charter boats I guess they would qualify as "passing through" and then the USCG requirement wouldn't apply?
That would apply to the "foreigners" but if a US sailor won on a US boat in US waters...
And now we've officially come full-circle back to the original post in this thread.
