The federal government has withdrawn its proposed 10-knot vessel speed rule for boats 35 feet and larger along the East Coast. The announcement was published today in the Federal Register.
"This is great news for the marine and fishing industries," said Viking Yacht Company President and CEO Pat Healey. "We all worked together to stop this government overreach and safeguard our rights to the ocean. This will not alter our goal to protect boaters and the whales through technology.”
