spoke with a friend on the beach yesterday. He is very involved in youth sailing in our area. He said that they have a lawyer fighting this and would get me some info asap. He said they looked into the specifics and the adult supervision DOES require onboard monitoring.

So basically if you want to put your 7 year old in a pram in the ocean, no supervision is needed... but your 15 year old can't be in a sunfish - seems like someone hasn't put much thought into this.

My friend said he doesn't see this bill passing but we shall see.
