Look up the definition of hydroplane

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hydroplane

A number of authoritative sources say that hydroplane
may mean "seaplane", or more precisely,
"an airplane that can land on or take off from water".

Yes, there are other possible meanings of the word,
but using hydroplane to mean floatplane is hardly
incorrect .


I guess the way the law is written it could be interpreted by
a law enforcement officer to suit either situation.
It would then be left up to a court to decide what the
intention or spirit of the law was when it was written.

I lived in Quebec and for years I'd heard of a "hydroplane dock" near

Hydroplane is a synonym.


No it isn't,. it's wrong, fjukktard.

A hydroplane is a boat so called because when at speed it "planes"
over the surface of the water.

The word is also a synonym for a seaplane, and that was probably the
definition intended in the law.

No, it isn't, fjukktard. It's a completely different type of
contraption.



You are a no nothing idiot.

Well, I don't think there is much question about the intent, since the
regulation in question is under the "CHAPTER 5 AIRCRAFT AND AIRPORTS"
section. It's obvious that they weren't referring to the boat type of
hydroplane.

CHAPTER 5 AIRCRAFT AND AIRPORTS

SEC. 5-11. USE OF HYDROPLANES ON CITY PROPERTY.
It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a hydroplane upon any
reservoir or any lake belonging to under control of the city. (Ord. Nos.
8213; 14384)

Presumably because they're Hydro "planes".


Well, it isn't uncommon for them to become airborne.

The unlimiteds were a lot more exciting when they ran the big piston
engines. They used to pass about 50 feet away from the main dock at the
Detroit Yacht Club - That was COOL!
