Hi,

I am a business owner of a sailing and powerboating school in the
San Francisco Bay area. It seems that some clarification is needed
to the regulations with regards to sailboats. The current rules
imply, but do not expressly exempt sailboats from the ruling. The
language should really be amended to exclude sailboats as they are
propelled primarily by wind making them hybrids under the current
language. As the document is currently written a lot of reporting
is required to apply for exemptions and extensions which will cause
an untold burden on our business as well as CARB given that we
would have to hire additional staff to track and submit this
paperwork for all of our boats. CARB would need additional staff to
also review and approve all of the paperwork, which seems like an
unnecessary expense. Please reconsider and exclude sailboats from
the proposed regulations.

Thanks,
Stephanie LaChance
