Question 1 of 27070

Q

You are bound for New London. Where will you cross the demarcation line and be governed by the Inland Rules of the Road?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Demarcation lines in 33 CFR Part 80 between Inland Rules and International Rules • Geography of the approach to New London via Long Island Sound (The Race, Thames River, bridges) • The fact that all vessels are always under some Navigation Rules (either Inland or International)

💭 Think About

• Look at where the official demarcation line is drawn for New London / Thames River in the CFR: is it at the river entrance, out in the Sound, or farther inside the river? • Think about the physical locations in the choices: which one corresponds to being seaward of the line, and which one corresponds to being landward (inland) of the line? • Ask yourself: could there ever be a situation in U.S. waters where you are not governed by any Rules at all?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check 33 CFR Part 80 for the exact description of the demarcation line for New London/Thames River. • Verify on a chart where "The Race" lies relative to New London and the entrance to the Thames River. • Confirm that once you cross landward of the demarcation line, you are under the Inland Navigation Rules.
