Default My seamanship question #3

You go sailing (not racing) in an Optimist pram. You're going north. The east wind is
right on your starboard beam.
Up ahead you see a Hobie Cat 14 sailing fast flying a hull and he's headed right at
your bow (he's going south). He changes course to the west and you change course to the
east.
Did you act the way the colregs tell you to?



No. ColRegs clearly state that 180# men are not allowed in
Optimist prams.
