Sec. 177.330  Sailing vessels.

    The design, materials, and construction of masts, posts, yards, 
booms, bowsprits, and standing rigging on a sailing vessel must be 
suitable for the intended service. The hull structure must be adequately 
reinforced to ensure sufficient strength and resistance to plate 
buckling. The cognizant OCMI may require the owner to submit detailed 
calculations on the strength of the mast, post, yards, booms, bowsprits, 
and standing rigging to the Marine Safety Center for evaluation.
