Legal access restriction for boats without a motor or a sail. Examples include canoes, kajaks (both propelled by paddles) and rowboats (propelled by oars). In some regions this legal category has a description along the lines of "muscle powered craft", in the OSM-Seamark wiki it is referred to as "unpowered craft".
This category has the same scope as the category "Craft other than motorized vessels or sailing craft" in the UN-ECE CEVNI - European Code for Inland Waterways - (also used outside Europe either formally or informally , see Implementation document)
This category is mentioned in the following signs in OSM-Seamark tagging :
Prohibitory sign A.16 ("All craft other than motorized vessels or sailing craft prohibited")
Informative sign E.19 ("Craft other than motorized vessels or sailing craft permitted") .
This opposed to signs based upon other power sources, such as
A.12 ("Motorised craft prohibited")
A.15 ("Sailing vessels prohibited") .
In CEVNI no legal distinction is made between rowboats (typically rowing in a backwards position with oars fixed to the craft on a pivot point) and other types of muscle powered / unpowered craft which are paddled in a forward position, with a paddle that is not connected to the craft. Specific prohibitions may refer to limitations in length or width.
Access limitations can also be constituted by general access signs or legislation which might refer to on-the-ground factors factors such as date, water level, damage to the surroundings or physical barriers.
