|I have the rule book and have actually studied it a lot but I cant find any |reference to human power craft. |If you find something solid could you please let me know. The www.uscg.mil site is not reachable for some reason. I found multiple references to the site on official/semi-official web sites but I have not been able to get there for in two days of trying. This is the site where I found the reference about paddle boats having general right of way. The reference itself was not a major heading but a list of which vessels generally had right of way, least to most, power boats, sail boats, human powered boats, followed by vessels with limited manoeuvrability I'll keep looking. I'll see if I have some old boating safety books at home. I likely do just a question of finding them! 8-) I know when I had my two run its with the power boats I looked up the information on the web site. I had the right of way for two reasons, one the human powered "rule" and since I was the vessel to the right I had right of way. I could also make the argument that I was also a vessel of limited manoeuvrability because I was running 15-20 feet alongside the shoreline. BUT, he was bigger then me so I let him do what he wanted to do! 8-) Later....
