(1) The chief
executive officer may, by notice published in the Government Gazette
—
(a)
limit the speed of any specified class or classes of motor boat, in any
navigable waters therein defined;
(b)
define and set aside any area of navigable waters for the purpose of racing by
speed boats for which permission to race has been granted by the chief
executive officer;
(c)
define and set aside, and impose conditions on the use of, any area of
navigable waters for the purposes of para‑sailing or water ski‑ing
and, where he sees fit, specify times when that area may be so used and may by
that notice, permit the use in accordance with that notice of any waters
mentioned in regulation 48(a), for that purpose;
(d) vary
or cancel any previous notice under this subregulation.
(2) A person shall not
race a motor boat, or drive a motor boat towing a para‑sailor or a water
skier in any navigable waters, except in an area defined and set aside by the
chief executive officer for the purpose and, where times during which the area
may be so used have been specified under subregulation (1)(c), during
those times, and where the chief executive officer has imposed any conditions
on the racing of speed boats, on para‑sailing or on water ski‑ing,
in any such defined area, a person failing to comply with those conditions
commits an offence.

aside any area of navigable waters, for a specified purpose, he may, at the
same or any other time order that those waters be not used for any but the
