New Wellcraft 38 T-Top
Designed To Do It All
UNEXPECTED ENTERTAINER Wellcraft has a storied past of building high-performance boats, from the iconic Scarab to offshore fishing machines. The 38 T-Top extends this legacy with a new focus on a multi-purpose platform. She is designed to be as much about a day on the water with friends as she is about getting to the fishing grounds in a hurry.
BUILT FOR TWO She's a classic Downeast profile that hides a modern, open layout. From the helm to the transom, this 2018 MJM 50 offers a single-level entertaining space with incredible visibility through her large, opening windows. Her build, based on high-tech sailboat construction, results in a lightweight, stable, and incredibly efficient hull. She can be a crowd-pleaser for the afternoon or a quiet escape for two.

A.The action must be positive and made in ample time.
The Inland and International Rules of the Road (Rule 8) state that any action taken to avoid a collision must be "positive, made in ample time and with due regard to the observance of good seamanship." This means the action should be clear and noticeable to the other vessel and taken well in advance to prevent a close-quarters situation.
