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?



1. The guy that rented the two Sunfishes to two morons that
don't know how to sail.

2. Because he should have known better when he heard you
yell, ''Dee Dee Dee''.
