That was no rock that Bobadil struck!
It is a good thing for the ferry boat operater that the
sailboater was drunk or it would have been the ferry boat operator who was at fault for hitting a sailboat. The ferry is required by the COLREGS to keep clear of a sailboat. I would like more information on this collision because I suspect the sailboat was motoring along on autopilot. The headline probably should have read "Motorboats collide". wrote in message ...

RB Define "limited steerage" The closest thing that would apply, is if he was in a narrow channel and could expect (unless Neal was the operator) the sailboat , not to impede his passage ..... even then he's still bound by the rules. Need more info to tell how badly the sailboat messed up or if it would have been considered such if the operator was sober. Shen |
