Maybe the regulation should be re-written to the following:


VI. "Headway speed'' means THE SLOWER OF 6 miles per hour or the slowest speed that a boat can be operated and maintain steerage way.
It probably should be rewritten. I was thinking the same thing before you posted it. The way it is is open to interpretation. I do believe no wake is meant to be no wake. But just as we can't agree on here, possible the officers don't agree. Someone should ask them.
