Practice question

A PWC is 25 metres from an anchored boat while travelling at 7 knots. Is this compliant with NSW distance-off rules?

  1. Yes, because 25m is close enough for a slow-moving PWC
  2. No — at 7 knots (6 knots or more), the PWC must keep at least 30 metres from the anchored boat, and 25m breaches this
  3. Yes, because the 30m rule only applies to moving vessels, not anchored ones
  4. No, because PWC must always keep 60m from any vessel

Answer: B — No — at 7 knots (6 knots or more), the PWC must keep at least 30 metres from the anchored boat, and 25m breaches this
