What are "the COLREGS" ??????

For a liveaboard you seem awfully anal & uptight

You guys and your petty little discussions regarding a set of rules that in
your cases is not enforceable, carries almost no weight in court and is
subject to wide interpretation... well it's so darn amusing!

Here's a friggin hint..... It's a big ocean and you're on a very little
boat.... stay the **** out of the way of everything bigger and faster. Leave
the rules to the racers, professionals and their vessels.

Do you really think I give a **** about who is to windward and who is
burdened if I'm being overtaken?? Nothing is more comical and dangerous than
a sailboat assuming right of way over a larger commercial vessel. If it's
another sailboat I'll give all the room I can.... If it's a bigger boat or
power vessel I'll provide as much room as they need. I cruise.... I'm never
in a rush... even the odd time I race.

Plus my vessel is armed to the teeth with water balloon launchers..... I
got one that has a 200 yard range!! Imagine the havoc a gas filled balloon
and a flare gun could create! :-)

Your ignorance of the Rules and disregard for the safety of your vessel is
surpassed only by the danger you represent to vessels following the Rules.

Commercial vessels, even those driven by the likes of Shen44 and otnmbrd,
follow the Rules and expect other vessels to do the same. The action they
take is required by the Rules and any inaction or wrong action other boats
who scorn the Rules can cause confusion, close-quarters situations and
collisions.

Your providing 'as much room as they need' is fine as long as such room is
provided by the book. Get a clue! Try taking and passing the exam and obtain
a captain's license before you hurt yourself and embarrass us real seamen.

Why is it Joe and myself are the only sailors here who wish to do things
the right way?

It's a good thing you're never in a rush because that crab-crusher
of yours is incapable of anything close to respectable speeds.

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.

Sometimes it pays to have a fast boat such as running out to deep
water when that front or storm blows up or in. In your case you
would be attempting to slowly motorsail to safe harbor but you would
not make it and suffer a beating from wind and its effects on
shallow water working on old-fashioned hull.

I will be out, well-off soundings, hove-to and enjoying cooking
a hot meal to be washed down with a couple of ice-cold beers.

You will be hanging over the rail puking while hollering Maday
on the VHF hoping to have some rescue vessel heading your way.

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.

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

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.

No... you'd be at your mooring.... don't even talk to me about the ocean and

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

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.

In under 4 kts. of wind and on dead-flat water he might be able to give you

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.

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

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

Some do . . . in court. Then again there is a difference between

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


Yep. C&C 27-5.


Roughly comparable to a Coronado 27. How nice.

I'm currently on the market for a decent Passport 40,


Yeah, sure . . .

but so far
the ones I've looked at were, shall we say, problematic and over priced.


Read: "I can't afford one."

I'll be
keeping the C&C for local summer sailing close to home. The new boat will
stay
somewhere warm as our winter headquarters.


Bobsprit by any other name . . . . smells as foul.

With Maxipad, everything is humiliating.

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.


If you're so confident about that, you'll have no problem providing me
with a website where I can post a photo or two of my boat. Warning: be
prepared to be humiliated.

Half of all sailing errors are a direct result of people panicking.
Most try to remember the "rules" and forget to use common sense.
Then you must remember that the guy facing you may not have any clue.
It is disappointing that most people these days don't take the time to lean
the basics.

You can't even afford your own website? You can get one FREE, dopey.


You must be Ganz. Last person, beyond Jon, who used the word "dopey" was a
third grader.

Besides,
I've already seen a photo of Crapton's cedar bucket. If you owned a 65
foot
Hinckley, the fact that YOU owned it would still give the edge to Crappy's
bucket. It's far too late for you to start preparing for humiliation. It
already
happened.


That's a lot of bluster from one with such a small . . . . boat. Must be a
case of yacht envy.

Nah. Contrary to what BB the Bilgehog believes, it's just not worth the
effort. Some seem to have the need to post themselves for all to see. I
couldn't care less. I'd email him some photos, but I'm sure he accuse me of
sending him a virus. Which isn't a half bad idea, come to think of it.
