vessels are prohibited from entering the designated race areas unless
authorized by the designated on-scene Patrol Commander. Spectator craft
may remain in designated spectator areas but must follow the directions
of the designated on-scene Patrol Commander. The event sponsor may also
function as the designated on-scene Patrol Commander. Spectator craft
entering, exiting or moving within the spectator area must operate at
speeds which will create a minimum wake.
Emergency Signaling: A succession of sharp, short signals by
whistle or horn from vessels patrolling the areas under the discretion
of the designated on-scene Patrol Commander shall serve as a signal to
stop. Vessels signaled shall stop and shall comply with the orders of
the patrol vessel. Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the
area, citation for failure to comply, or both.
This notice is issued under authority of 33 CFR 100.1308 and 5
U.S.C. 552(a). In addition to this notice in the Federal Register, the
Coast Guard will provide the maritime community with advance
notification of this enforcement period via the Local Notice to

enter the regulated area.
