Patrol Boat

[hpboats83]

What is the responsibility of a patrol boat during a ski race such as the Catalina ski race?

[H2oSki2Fast]

Spectator fleet control, keeping people off the race course. When in Mission Bay, they are usually chasing down sea doos that try and enter the course, it's rather entertaining.

They do frown upon using a waterballoon launcher to get the jetskiers attention...

You do get front row seats, so if you are a photographer bring a camera!

There's your answer. Their responsibility is taking pictures, not patrolling, not spectator control. ITS ALL ABOUT PICTURE TAKING
