COLREGS - The final word on pecking order in restricted visibility.
Neal's point has been (though he doesn't state it explicitly in this thread) that a
sailboat is "standon" in the thickest fog and is not required to reduce speed. He has claimed repeatedly that rule 19 does not apply to sailboats because they are incapable of ever traveling at an unsafe speed. Is this point of Simon's that you're agreeing with? "Tim Roberts" wrote in message ... At the risk of being a pedant, the COLREGS themselves state the following; Rule 3 General Definitions (l) The term "restricted visibility" means any conditions in which visibility is restricted by fog, mist, falling snow, heavy rainstorms, sandstorms or any other similar causes. That aside, from my own experience at sea I'd have to agree with the point Simon is trying to make. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
