Escape Sailboats:

Escape Sailboats, Haven Sailboat, History Of SailboatsOn boats, power or sail, that have a mast with a gaff, the U.S. ensign should be flown at the peak of the gaff. On Marconi-rigged escape sailboats, it can be flown from the leech of the aftermost sail, two-thirds of the way up. It is never displayed on a sailboat while racing. On powerboats, and optionally on escape sailboats, the U.S. flag is flown at the stern. On sport-fishing boats, where it would obstruct normal fishing activity, the ensign can be flown from a halyard rigged on the centerline just aft of the tuna tower.

escape sailboats of 16 feet or more in length, even without any auxiliary power or fuel tanks, must have at least one B-I extinguisher.

See Also Haven Sailboat:

A haven sailboat with an auxiliary engine must be capable of showing the lights of both a haven sailboat and a power boat; the lights must be wired so that they can be changed from one display to the other.

Day sailors should wash off salt when a haven sailboat is docked or hauled. Mild sudsing with soap (no detergents) plus freshwater rinse is the best springtime treatment.


On The Other Hand See History Of Sailboats:

Different right-of-way rules apply when two sailboats meet. When each has the wind on a different side, the one with the wind on her port side must keep out of the way of the other.

Although scientists can gain much information about the composition and history of sailboats of the earth from laboratory and seismic methods, they are particularly interested in examining real samples of its internal material. Geologists have recently gained a view of thousands of years of polar history of sailboats in a National Science Foundation (NSF) project in which drillings are being made through one and a half miles (2.4 km) of the Antarctic ice cap to the rock beneath.
