I found the following in *Bold *on a Safe Boaters website
(Canadian).....didn't have the time to look up the specific 1999 Small
Vessel Regulation that it is referring to. If the actual Regulation
does say this, does this mean that all us Canucks with 'wet mufflers' on
our sailing vessels are 'offside' of the law?
Noise Abatement
*A new regulation came into effect in 1999 under the Small Vessel
Regulations.*
*Boats are not permitted within five miles of shore without a noise
abatement device unless the boat was built prior to 1960.*
*This means that straight pipes are no longer permitted on boats.*
*A wet exhaust, where the exhaust is partially muffled by cooling water
discharged through the exhaust pipes, is not considered a noise
abatement device.*
