Is operating at slow or no-wake speed when passing an anchored vessel legal?

  1. No, it's prohibited

  2. Yes, it is legal

  3. Only if permission is granted

  4. Yes, but only at night

The correct answer is: Yes, it is legal

Operating at slow or no-wake speed when passing an anchored vessel is legal because this practice is designed to minimize the wake and potential disturbance caused by the passing vessel. This regulation helps ensure the safety and comfort of individuals on the anchored vessel, as well as helps protect the marine environment by reducing the risk of waves disturbing the waterway's natural state. The law encourages greater consideration for others sharing the waterway, promoting a culture of safety and responsibility among boaters. It is important to operate at a controlled speed near anchored vessels to avoid accidents and damage to the vessels or the surrounding environment.
