You mean "green over red the captain is dead?" Not a chance. I'd
suggest you look at 3 (f).

"... RULE 3 (f) The term "vessel not under command" means a
vessel which through some exceptional circumstance is unable to
maneuver as required by these Rules and is therefore unable to keep
out of the way of another vessel...."

Heck I think that fits Skips lookout methods. Also I think its RED
over RED the captain is dead. But maybe wrong


OK, let's get this right. Red over red is NUC. That means Not Under
Command. It also has nothing to do with no lookout or no captain. Not
under command has everything to do with an exceptional circumstance
whereby a vessel is unable to maneuver according to the rules.
Exceptional circumstance is usually meant as a mechanical or operational
breakdown or defect that renders a vessel unable to comply.

And it's red over green = sailing machine. White over red is pilot
ahead. (accept when it's Otn at the helm - he uses red over white over
red [RAM] because he's usually so drunk he's Restricted in his Ability
to Maneuver -yuk yuk!). Red over white is fishing tonite. Green over
white is trawling tonite.

I hope this helps.
