The appeal was allowed in part: the magistrate correctly found on admissible eyewitness evidence that the appellant failed to keep a proper lookout and COLREGs applied to Tai Tam Bay under Cap.313 and the jetski qualified as a 'vessel' and 'pleasure vessel' under the regulations as deemed by the new Ordinance, so convictions for endangering safety at sea (A) and for being underway without valid certificates (C and D) were upheld; however charge B duplicated the substance of A and, by merger principle, the conviction on B was quashed.
