Doug will not admit he's wrong becuase if he did it would pop his bubble
of delusion.

How about all your repetition of things like "As much as that upsets

Which statements? Please quote the "not true" statements.

Read my posts, Doug, let me know where you find factual error.



Simple- your statement that a kayak has "every right" to do as he
pleases in a
shipping lane.


Please quote that statement. Quote the post where I supposedly stated or
even implied that the kayaker had no obligation to operate in accordance
with COLREGS and VTS rules.

Here's the quote you avoided including as it just doesn't seem to fit
your agenda:

"I am not "claiming the kayak has the right to go anywhere and do
anything he pleases" I am stating that the kayaker has the right to
maneuver where and how he pleases, just as you do, within the bounds of
COLREGS and if in a VTS area, the rules applicable to that area."

If you are going to play this game then you had better work a little
harder at your reading and debating skills. So far all you have done is
to make your position less comprehensible than it was to begin with.

OK, do exactly that. Repost your statements about which rules the
kayak has to
follow, and what her obligations are.


"Yes, the kayak has the same rights of navigation as the tanker within
the COLREGS and VTS requirements."

"I mean the kayaker has the same right to displace that water as the
tanker operator. They must both adhere to the rules applicable to those
waters and their operation upon them."

"I mean the kayaker has every right to operate in or across the lanes
subject to the VTS operating limitations and procedures and COLREGS."

"You are ranting now. Please quote exactly where and when I said the
kayaker has no obligation to follow the rules. I stated very plainly
that both vessels are compelled to follow the rules."

"The operator of that small boat without radar may be foolish or even
foolhardy, or not, but the fact is that boat and operator have as much
"business" being there as you or the QE2. "

How many more do you need?

For the reocord, you are completely correct and colregs certainly
applies to kyaks. What is astonishing is that DSK cannot get head around
where good seamanship starts and what colregs and other 'rules of the
road' don't cover.

You must be the deluded one, because I have admitted it when I have been
wrong. Doesn't happen very often, but it has occured a few times over the past
few years.

Now, when are you going to pay me the money you owe me?

No, you owe me! I posted the name boat that, in a comparable size range,
has a higher LPS than a Micro. Therefore you lose. It's that simple. It
is obvious you have no intention of paying up and that shows what you
are. Since you will keep acting in this childish way I will have no
further discussions with you. I view you as a complete waste of air -hot
air at that.

1- no, you didn't
2- even if you had, I had to explain the bet five times and let a week or more go by
while you furiously searched & searched for an answer that you hoped would fool
somebody.

Correct, except for one small detail.


....Since you will keep acting in this childish way I will have no

That'd be great. Send a check and quit posting to this newsgroup.

Even if I had??? Explain the bet??? Fool somebody?? I was trying to get
you to agree to terms for wager settlement before I revealed my data and
design -and that is a matter of public record!

Let me suggest you look up and try to understand the words 'comparable'
and 'anything' in a dictionary before you mince such words with others
in the future. Also, don't threaten people because one day you may find
they will decide to give you a painful lesson and that day may come when
you least expect it.

I was disappointed in you in so far as I would have expected you to
admit that the Bolger Micro is not the best choice of small boat in
general. Instead now you just shout 'I won' like a child all the time
when your silly claim was exposed. Did you really think that Bolger and
friends would support your idea of a 180 degree LPS for a micro? If so
you must be one of the most foolish people I've ever encountered. It's
really a pity that I wasted my time trying to explain to you the basis
of the stability screening equation or why some people think a fuller
head to a main can be a good idea and other ideas. I'll not waste my
time trying to get ideas over to you because you are the biggest
arsehole I've met in a long time. When you post more of your usual
misleading nonsense I'll point it out -if I see it -but I'll not discuss
anything with you.

As I said at the start of this issue: A Bolger Micro is not a seaworthy
vessel. In fact, I'd rate it as a plaything for sheltered waters. It's a
pity you have no idea what 'seaworthy' means. Perhaps you had better
look that up in a dictionary too, or better yet, go get a real education
boy.

Don't bother to reply, I'm not interested in more of your bluster.

Thank you very much. I was beginning to think that stating the obvious
here is a futile exercise. It seems these guys just can't let go of the
idea that their version of nautical right and wrong is not supported by
maritime law and practice no matter how much they want to believe otherwise.

You might want to check MC's history here before kissing up to him.

Actually, some people here have quoted the exact ColRegs to support their
statements. You aren't one of them.
