That ain't bad they got whole libraries dedicated to all the rules one needs to know to navigate the mainland. I'll gladly give up criminal code for maritime law

It's definitely presented in a legalese fashion, but skimming it seems like most of it shows you how to communicate with other boats and how to not be dumb and avoid collisions. The comprehensive "keep right, lights at night" of boating.
