Who's fault is it?
In article ,
says...
Does anyone know who was cited for this accident?
http://www.m90.org/index.php?id=11568
Was it the CG for not altering course to avoid an emminent collision, or
the PB for not paying attention?
I did a bit of searching for "stand on vessel" and found this site to be
informative:

and
http://www.boatingbasicsonline.com/c...2_b1print.php?

Pretty much shows the CG as the guilty vessel.
There is a mention of :
"If the skipper of the blue vessel does not observe the red vessel
taking action to avoid collision, then he/she must take the required
action to avoid a collision."
But clearly the CG is at fault.
