Best Answer

The Slowest speed at which headway can be made and it is still possible to maintain steering control. This can vary in rivers or any other currents, this regulation is typically applied in "no wake" zones, or within 100 feet of shore, to avoid unnatural erosion of shoreline or disruption of wildlife ecology.

May also be referred in the verbage of the law as "bare steerageway."
