Discussion of Rule
On August 26, 1995, the United States Offshore Racing Association
will hold the Barnegat Bay Classic in Barnegat Bay between Island Beach
and the mainland. If weather conditions do not allow the Barnegat Bay
Classic to be held on August 26, 1995, it will be held, weather
permitting, on August 27, 1995. The event will consist of approximately
fifty to sixty powerboats, ranging from 24 to 36 feet in length, racing
on a designated course within the regulated area described in 33 CFR
100.502(a). To enhance the safety of the participants in and spectators
of the Barnegat Bay Classic, Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District is
placing 33 CFR 100.502 in effect during this event. Although this rule
will restrict general navigation within the designated area,
waterbourne traffic will not be severely disrupted because the
Intracoastal Waterway will remain open for passage.
