Welcome
to the District 13, Division 7 Web Site! Division 7 is the
managing authority for six local Flotillas in the Northwest
Oregon and Southwest Washington area. The Division currently boasts
approximately 200 members, and serves the Columbia, Willamette,
and Kalama rivers.
We work
closely with our active duty, reserve and civilian colleagues
from
U.S. Coast Guard District 13,
U.S.C.G.
Sector Portland and
Station
Portland to educate the public about boating safely, protect
the environment, and keep the region's waterways safe &
secure.
Rule
9 of the Navigational Rules requires that all vessels less
than 65 feet, vessels engaged in fishing and all sailboats
shall not impede the passage of a vessel that can safely
navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway.
Rule 9 places the obligation on YOU, the small vessel operator.
Violations of Rule 9 can result in civil penalties of up to:
