couldnt find this page by searching "IRPCS". I believe the abreviation is fairly widely used...

I have to say, the para-phrasing of the IRCPS is not to be encouraged. In just a quick scan of them i can see a number of unintentional changes to the Rules and their application. I understand why this has been done, but for most people looking at this, the exact wording of the rules is of vital importance. Can this be rectified?

Removed. I'm seeing if I can put in a few examples, but I'll need to create the images first. Any help would be appreciated! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 22:38, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I found this page by looking for NavRules (other variations Nav Rules, Navigation Rules). But there are TWO sets of nave rules, Inland and International. Might wann fix that, since inland rules are much stricter.4.246.120.180 (talk) 15:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)Andy REDDSON

The COLREGS are international only as created by the International Maritime Organization. The "stricter" inland rules are under the United States CFRs and are not actually provided for under the '72 COLREGS. While the common Navigation Rules book as published in accordance with the US Coast Guard includes both the '72 COLREGS and the CFRs containing the inland rules I believe it would be incorrect to include the inland rules here. Perhaps something specifying the diffirence should be added.KubalaC (talk) 05:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
