OK ya'll, here's another sailing question. I'll try to make it very
clear. Maybe I won't
get so many complaints this time. (sighing as she decides not to hold her
breath...)
I'm sailing my Tangerine (17' 6" on deck). It has no motor. I'm
sailing along minding my
own business. It's a nice day and hardly any other boats on the Bay.
There's no current
because it's high tide. Off to my left I see a big sport fisherman boat
heading my way.
It looks like he's on course to run right into me about 45 degrees
forward of my beam.
He's not fishing. He's just motoring along on plane. He's closer than 1/4
mile. I think
everybody will agree I'm the stand on boat. But under the colreg rules is
this:
a) a meeting situation
b) a crossing situation
c) an overtaking situation
I'll get even on this one. You've been mean to me so far, just mean.
What goes around
comes around. Remember that. Maybe you won't be so mean.

Cheers,
Ellen

d. None of the above
