Mooron is an idiot. I doubt he could follow the rules even if he knew what
they were.

What a Faggy response!

In fact, I remember you doing that... it was a C&C 27?

He's very busy trying to find Cambridge, Massachucetts on a free gas
station map. He's a complete, and very lost, lubber, you realize...

While tossing charges of lubberdom about, why is it we've never seen any
evidence of your purported boat? Do you own one, or are you strictly a
ner-do-well malcontent with too much time on his hands and nothing to
sail?

And now we've heard from the Queen of the lubbers!

I have, in the past, posted pictures of my boat. I'm so sorry you
missed them! I really don't give a crap whether you think I have a
boat. Crapton's cedar bucket is more of a boat (and a genuine stink
pot at that!) than anything you own.

Bwahaaha... got to respond don't you..... Bwahaahahahahahaaaaaaaa

Capt. Neal,

Do not fret. The weekend warriors boat at their own risk.
If they fail to comply with the rules and cause you our your vessel any
harm you can collect in a court of law.

As if that's a simple, frustration-free, inexpensive process. It isn't. My
advice: avoid courts and lawyers if at all possible. Only a complete fool
will insist upon his rights, knowing he has recourse in court.

Most lubbers do not have much invested in their boats and it is not
important enough for them to be concerned with the Colregs.

Most brand new boaters are clueless as to the Colregs, or even the more
fundamental "rules of the road." They buy their boats from dealers and
brokers who couldn't care less if the buyer has any knowledge at all; only
that his check won't bounce and he's creditworthy. The problem begins he
those selling boats for a living should be "encouraged" by law to provide at
least a modicum of knowledge to buyers.

Here I often enter heavy commerical shipping lanes therefore I want to
be sure I'm in the right incase some derelict crew or Capt. causes any
damage to my vessel. Plus I do not want to impede anyone working... or
get sliced in half by a mile long tow hauser offshore, or snag some
shrimpers net and have to buy him a new one.

In an backwoods harbor on the N Atlantic were seldom is seen another
vessel... Moorons approch to the rules is not to far out of line for
the average weekend warrior.

I used to believe that to be true, but I've found that most boaters, after a
verbal altercation with other boaters, make the effort to discover why they
were the focus of such vitriol. That's why I spare no one from verbal abuse
should they do something really stupid. It's part of their education.
Many ultimately take CG Auxiliary courses, the Power Squadron courses, or
simply self-study. I really don't find many experienced boaters these days
with no knowledge whatsoever, apart from the rank newbie and jet ski jocks.
Most possess a fundamental set of facts and rules, and they use them
properly.

Here in the Great Lakes, we seldom have need for the more esoteric Colregs,
but many of us still have a working knowledge of them. It's rare to find a
third year boater without any knowledge of the rules of right of way, etc.

If you ever got a chance to sail a nice, fast and manageable boat
such as my fine, blue water Coronado 27 that has an excellent
turn of speed as well as supperb maneuverability and seakeeping,
you would change your tune in a New York minute.

Let's take a vote:

Who would rather have Mooron's 30' crab crusher? ____

Who would rather have Neal's fine, blue water Coronado 27? ____

I thought so.

Your yellow excuse for a poor performing, coastal cruising, tender, fin
keeled, jury rigged, dory of a small boat couldn't hope to catch my fine
vessel on the best day.

In under 4 kts. of wind and on dead-flat water he might be able to give you
a little competition. Anything beyond that would put him out of your
line-of-sight astern.
Over 20kts. he'd never see you beyond the first half hour.

Max

What are you talking about... I respond to most of your posts!

Well, sure. So are most long-term boaters!

WHAT!!!
And you call yourself a conservative??

The gov't should not meddle in a marketplace, and on top of that impose
legal restraints on personal actions, based on your own private
squeamishness. Another indicator pointing to your fascist tendencies.

damage to my vessel. Plus I do not want to impede anyone working... or

IMHO it's more important to have a good knowledge of both ColRegs *and*
practical seamanship so that you not only the traffic rules but you also
can make a reasonable prediction as to what other vessels are going to
do.... and keep out of their way!

In an backwoods harbor on the N Atlantic were seldom is seen another

Either that, or they follow you and beat the snot right out of you.

While I've done it myself, that's dumb.

Maybe I'm just more cynical, or it may be that your boaters up North
have more time to study when they can't go out in those long winter
months. I'd say about 1/4 of the long term boaters I meet either have no
real knowledge of the rules and/or their knowledge includes enough
serious errors & misconceptions as to be dangerous rather than helpful.

Here in the Great Lakes, we seldom have need for the more esoteric Colregs,
but many of us still have a working knowledge of them. It's rare to find a
third year boater without any knowledge of the rules of right of way, etc.


Aren't you the lucky ones, then.

DSK

I would prefer the one that is appropriate to where I intend to sail it.

Falling???? I tried my darndest to guide Jon out of his miasma.... his

the mindless drivel you so constantly spout.
