Kite Surfers and Coll Regs.
Blow the danger/doubt signal? What's that?

I would blow the danger/doubt signal on the horn and prepare myself to take evasive action to avoid a collision in case the kite boarder did not get out of the way. Technically I am not the stand-on vessel because the kite boarder has no status under the COLREGS but the COLREGS to place a high priority on avoiding collisions so I would take action to avoid a collision if necessary.

Well done! So what tack is a sailboat on when head to wind? Dear me! I asked a simple question about "stand on status" and you have tried to use it to demonstrate that I know nothing about the Coll Regs. Pathetic!! Why were you unable to answer my simple question? Let's face it, Oz. I don't pretend to be an expert on all matters related to sailing. So, what does it matter if there is something that I don't know?? OTOH, you present yourself as an expert. Unfortunately, you seem unable to back up your arrogant attitude with any substance. Now, you can prove me wrong by answering the original question. What would *you* do if you were at the helm of a yacht, on starboard tack, if you were on a collision course with a (port tack) kite surfer? Regards Donal -- |
