the opinion of the District Commander,
the State is able to regulate in such a

parade when he or she deems such action to be in the public interest.

Purpose and intent.

over regattas and marine parades conducted on the navigable waters of the
United States so as to insure safety of
life in the regatta or marine parade
area.
