Was it the CG for not altering course to avoid an emminent collision, or
the PB for not paying attention?

Clearly the CG failed to yield right of way to a vessel forward of his
starboard beam. The other guy was looking in the direction of the
priviledged vessel on HIS starboard beam ... as he should.
There may be some contributary negligence since you should always be
on the lookout in all directions but it is not the main issue.
I think Uncle Sam owes this guy a new boat and an apology. The captain
of the CG boat should be sailing a desk.
Agreed on all points.
