Cited for "unsafe sailing" of a vessel that doesn't even have sails.  Wha?!!

http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=3444500

No mechanical propulsion .... (maybe he just shoulder-bumped the sides 
in the general direction he wanted to float).  "Could face further charges."

Website of the non-sailor/designer/builder/artist www.dukeriley.info

Self-described as an "artist" and "patriot," 'who combines "populist 
myths and reinvented historical obscurities with contemporary social 
dilemmas."

I wonder if that could be used as a defense against charges for unsafe 
operation of a marine vessel?
