Question 126Deck General70% to pass
A sail plan, including the vessel's itinerary, name, number, and persons aboard, should be filed with _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) a responsible person.
A sail plan, including the vessel's itinerary, name, number, and persons aboard, should be filed with a responsible person, such as a family member or friend, before departing. This allows the responsible person to have information about the vessel's planned route and passengers in case of an emergency or overdue return.
The other options are incorrect because the FAA (A) is responsible for aviation, not maritime operations, the Coast Guard (C) would typically receive a float plan rather than a sail plan, and U.S. Customs (D) is primarily concerned with import/export documentation, not voyage planning.
