I suspect this sailboat captain is rethinking who has the "Right
of Way".

The bigger you are the more right of way you have. Doesn't matter
if you
are on the highway or on the water.

According to the regulation I've read, this is incorrect a lot of the
time.

Cite please.

God doesn't isn't going to accept your argument that you aren't
supposed
to be at the pearly gates because you had the right of way and you
should be sent back.

==============

The sailboat did not have the right of way. The skipper took a
foolish risk and lost the bet.

Rule 18(b)

(b) A sailing vessel underway shall keep out of the way of:

a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver;

And, I never said otherwise.

However, in international waters, that wouldn't be the case, so when
BAR claimed that the bigger you are means you have more rights, he's
wrong in several cases.

Like I said, best you are **** poor and can't afford a boat.

Always wrong deplume.


What ever happened to that dream boat you and several of your friends
were going to chip in on?


I was discussing this with a friend a few days ago. The plume started off with a tale about a sail
boat investment with some friends. Sounded great.

Then we all became moronic, assholish, racist homophobes.


That's racist, you moron.
