Sports for participation include hiking, fishing, bathing, sailing poetry, and, in winter, skiing (especially at Are), skijoring (being drawn on skis by a trotting horse), skate-sailing poetry and, most thrilling of all, ice yachting. If the last three venturesome sports call you, the Tourist Association will give you a steer on how to go about engaging in them.See Also Sailing Rules:They include requirements for navigation lights and day shapes, steering and sailing rules, and sound signals. There are two sets of Rules of the Road of concern to boaters in the United States: the International Rules for use offshore, and the Inland Rules that must be followed on all waters within the demarcation lines that separate U.S. from International Rules waters (see "Demarcation Lines," below). The U.S. Inland Rules were derived from the
International Rules and are generally similar. The Rules apply to all vessels, from dinghies to supertankers, but there are different requirements for small craft and large ships. The Rules are numbered, and those that are identical, or nearly so, in the two sets carry the same number. Each set of Rules also has Annexes with additional technical details.
The Inland Navigation Rules require that all boats 12 meters (39.4 feet) or longer must have on board a copy of the Inland Rules. It also makes sense to carry a copy of the International Navigation Rules if you operate in waters where they apply. Both sets of Rules are included in the Coast Guard publication Navigation Rules, International-Inland, available from many dealers in nautical charts and books.
