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".


Basing your response based on scanty information, aren't you Neal? Were they in
open waters or in a channel?
