I think that you will find that whether a sailboat, a powerboat or a
row boat, the court will always find against the party who, in the
event evasive action was possible, failed to take evasive action or to
do everything in his/her power to avoid the accident.

Problem is, that's usually both parties.

Yes, to some degree/percent. Reminds me of the comment that unless you have
six nuns in habits aboard, and are anchored with all appropriate measures in
place, you're likely to be found somewhat at fault in a collision.


Provided that you are anchored in an approved anchorage :-)
