Special Local Regulation: Stonington Lobster Boat Races, Deer Island Thoroughfare, Stonington, ME

The Coast Guard proposes to establish a permanent special local regulation for the Stonington Lobster Boat Race. The event will be held on Saturday, July 22, 1995, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and thereafter annually on the third or fourth Saturday in July in the waters of Deer Island Thoroughfare, Stonington, ME. This regulation is needed to protect the boating public from the hazards associated with high speed powerboat racing in confined waters.
