Default 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:


http://www.boatingbasicsonline.com/c...ing/6_2_b1.php

and

http://www.boatingbasicsonline.com/c...2_b1print.php?
PHPSESSID=b0a5453b45108d3f4c06258fee845cce

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.
