What is considered 'slow no wake speed'?

  1. 10 miles per hour

  2. Speed at which the vessel creates a large wake

  3. A speed at which the vessel does not produce a wake, not to exceed 5 miles per hour

  4. 20 miles per hour

The correct answer is: A speed at which the vessel does not produce a wake, not to exceed 5 miles per hour

Context Slow no wake speed is a term used in boating and refers to a speed at which the vessel is traveling slowly and not producing a wake. It is typically used in areas such as marinas, harbors, and other designated slow speed zones. This speed is important to follow as it helps reduce the risk of damage to other boats, docks, and shorelines, as well as provides a safer environment for both boaters and wildlife. Option A is incorrect because 10 miles per hour is generally considered to be a faster speed and could still create a considerable wake. Option B is incorrect because it suggests a speed that creates a large wake, which goes against the concept of 'slow no wake speed.' Option D is incorrect because 20 miles per hour is a much faster speed and would definitely produce a wake.
