It is a good thing for the ferry boat operater that the
sailboater was drunk or it would have been the ferry
boat operator who was at fault for hitting a sailboat.
The ferry is required by the COLREGS to keep
clear of a sailboat. I would like more information
on this collision because I suspect the sailboat was
motoring along on autopilot. The headline probably
should have read "Motorboats collide".
