Phantom...
Do you have a link to that law? I looked and there is NO mention of 150' headway speed requirement between moving boats. The mass.gov website did have these rules... Nowhere is it mentioned between moving boats. http://www.mass.gov/eea/grants-and-t...w-summary.html http://www.usps.org/e_stuff/document...oating-law.pdf Woodsy

Give me some time & I will try and find it for you..... As usual, I am traveling and have limited internet "playtime" ( the forum is my stress relief ) In the meantime, if I recall correctly it is buried in Chapter 90 of the State Reg's .

GBG....
I am WELL aware of the NH rules & regs.... No worries there! I have been boating in NH for the last 35 years or so... I was asking Phantom about a MA rule requiring headway speed when 2 moving boats are within 150'. He had mentioned that MA had that rule, and I looked and couldn't find it. A NH marina is not going to have a MA rule handbook.... I was pretty sure that the 150' rule (required separation between moving boats) was unique to NH. Woodsy

Here is the Mass Boating law Ch 90B
https://www.usps.org/e_stuff/documen...oating-law.pdf
Headway speed:defined as the minimum speed a vessel may be operated to maintain steerageway,but not to exceed 6 miles per hour. • Don’t operate your boat at more than headway speed when within 150 to 300 feet of shorelines used as swimming areas. • Use headway speed when within 150 feet of a marina, ramp, raft or float. • Use headway speed within 150 feet of a swimmer. ...... • Don’t operate at more than headway speed when within 150 feet of a swimmer, the shore, or a moored vessel. I'll let you all peruse this document but I see no mention of a 150 foot rule that pertains to vessels that are on plane and underway. I see mentions of fixed objects and moored vessels, but that is it. Check it out and let me know. I, along with Woodsy, was told many times that the 150 foot rule, with concern to vessels underway, above No Wake speed, is totally unique to New Hampshire inland waterways. If somebody can prove otherwise I will stand corrected. |

I believe the 150' safe passage rule between two operating vessels is quite unique to NH...

VERY Interesting !!!
I stand corrected ....... but on a side note our local MP (actually local PD) enforce boat to boat -- can't wait to get into that verbal scuffle with them Thanks Hazlenut .
