50 feet, same as a boat.. PWC need to stay 50 feet away from another boat or shore.
Headway speed is 6 mph or the slowest speed to travel and still maintain steerage.
This sign indicates a controlled area where a boater must proceed at a speed no greater than that which will maintain steerage and headway.
Rules of the roadInternational / InlandRule 2Responsibility"Rule of good seamanship"(a) Nothing in these rules shall exonerate any vessel, or the owner, master, crew therof, from the consequences of any neglect to comply with these rules or of the neglect of any precaution which may be required by ordinary practice of seaman, or by the special circumstances of the case.(b) In construing and complying with these rules due regard shall be had to all dangers of navigation and collision and to any special circumstances, including limitations of the vessels involved which may make a departure from these rules to avoid immediate danger.Pure and simple, if the situation were reversed, how close do you really want a vessel passing you "at a greater than headway speed"?
It is essentially the same as headway speed, or "no wake" speed. The minimum speed necessary to maintain forward motion and steering control.
In the District of Columbia, when two or more Personal Watercrafts are operating at a speed of 10 mph or greater, drivers must maintain a separation of 25 yards.
Partially. Raw speed comes from the hardware, but a operating system that can optimize better than another makes it faster. It also depends on your definition of "advantage"
