So, I'm crusing along at 6.2 MPH in my sailboat, in a great wind. The wind curves so I can make better way towards my destination by hugging the shore. The thought occured to me, I'm less than 150' from shore going over headway speed or 5 MPH - even though I'm leaving virtually no wake. Is this against the rules, or do they only apply to motorized craft?
