from the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 
1972 (72 COLREGS), for Viking Yacht Company's 92C Enclosed Bridge

construction and placement of the pilothouse aft of amidships, the 
vessel cannot fully comply with the masthead light provisions of the 72 
COLREGS without interfering with the vessel's design and construction, 
as there are no structures forward of amidships on which a masthead 
light could be affixed. This notice promotes the Coast Guard's maritime 
safety and stewardship missions.

vessel may instead meet alternative requirements and the vessel's 
owner, builder, operator, or agent may apply for a COAC. For vessels of 
special construction, the cognizant Coast Guard District Office 
determines whether the vessel for which the COAC is sought complies as 
closely as possible with the 72 COLREGS and decides whether to issue 
the COAC. Once issued, a COAC remains valid until information supplied 
in the COAC application or the COAC terms become inapplicable to the 
vessel. Under the governing statute \3\ and regulation,\4\ the Coast 
Guard must publish notice of this action.
