Hello Boater

NEW VIDEO GranOcean W72 

More Beam Than Most Megayachts 

GranOcean W72 features

48-HOUR BATTERY The W72's 32'8" beam creates interior volume more commonly associated with much larger yachts. Three inverters, 1,000 watts of solar, and an upgraded battery pack can run the A/C for up to 48 hours without the generator. In our review she hit 26 knots in 18-knot winds and near 6-foot seas.

Practice Question - Answer 

B) the nature of her work

Under Rule 3(g) of both the Inland and International Navigation Rules (COLREGS), a vessel is "restricted in her ability to maneuver" when the nature of her work restricts her ability to maneuver as required by the Rules and therefore prevents her from keeping out of the way of another vessel.
