Rule 5
Look-out
Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision.[/i]

Can't help feeling that there's an opportunity here for someone with an engineering background and a bit of time on his hands (perhaps recently retired) to make some pocket-money by filming his pals' boats with such an apparatus.
