Default My seamanship question #2

You are sailing your Sunfish. There's a lot of current where your sailing and the
wind is pretty strong and blowing the same direction the currents going.
You tack and get in irons. The wind pushes you backwards and the current pushes
you backwards. Your sail flutters and your rudder doesn't work. Suddenly another
Sunfish runs into the side of your boat.
Who's at fault for the collision and why?


Cheers,
Ellen
