The ferry is required by the COLREGS to keep
clear of a sailboat.
Can't the Ferry "claim" limited steerage in certain cases?
RB
Define "limited steerage"
The closest thing that would apply, is if he was in a narrow channel and could
expect (unless Neal was the operator) the sailboat , not to impede his passage
..... even then he's still bound by the rules.
Need more info to tell how badly the sailboat messed up or if it would have
been considered such if the operator was sober.
