NOTICE: RULES
ACTION: Regatta and marine parades:
DOCUMENT ACTION: Notice of implementation of regulation.
SUBJECT CATEGORY: Special Local Regulations for Marine Events; Hampton River, Hampton, VA
DOCUMENT SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is implementing the special local regulations at 33 CFR 100.508 during the Hampton Bay Days Festival to be held September 57, 2003, on the waters of the Hampton River at Hampton, Virginia. These special local regulations are necessary to control vessel traffic due to the confined nature of the waterway and expected vessel congestion during the festival events. The effect will be to restrict general navigation in the regulated area for the safety of event participants, spectators and vessels transiting the event area.
SUMMARY: Hampton Bay Days Festival, VA,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Hampton Bay Days, Inc. will sponsor the Hampton Bay Days Festival on September 57, 2003 on the Hampton River, Hampton, Virginia. The festival will include water ski demonstrations, personal watercraft and wake board competitions, paddle boat races, classic boat displays, fireworks displays and a helicopter rescue demonstration. A fleet of spectator vessels is expected to gather nearby to view the festival events. In order to ensure the safety of participants, spectators and transiting vessels, 33 CFR 100.508 will be in effect for the duration of the festival activities. Under provisions of 33 CFR 100.508, vessels may not enter the regulated area without permission from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Spectator vessels may enter and anchor in the special spectator anchorage areas if they proceed at slow, no wake speed. The Coast Guard Patrol Commander will allow vessels to transit the regulated area between festival events. Because these restrictions will be in effect for a limited period, they should not result in a significant disruption of maritime traffic. In addition to this notice, the maritime community will be provided
extensive advance notification via the Local Notice to Mariners, marine
information broadcasts, and area newspapers, so mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.
