Chip,


I finally took my boating class last Saturday (passed, Wife did to) and the Instructor mad a point of saying the Sunrise to Sunset applied to PWC as well. I would agree that the book may not be clear on this.

If you look at pages 10, 11 and 30 (small Handbook) None of the illistrations of how the Navigation markers are used shows PWC at night. I might say that the absence of a PWC tells the story?

Hello Skip!!!

Hello Skip!!!

You are absolutely correct George, there is no absolute rule for or against a 3+ seat PWC with lights being operated at night. The laws in NH are very vague and open to interpretation. We the civilians have to interpret it, the MP has to interpret it, and if issued a ticket (and it is fought), then a judge would have to intrepret it. It sure is interesting, at least to me it is.
