Default My seamanship question #3

You go sailing (not racing) in an Optimist pram.

You're going north. The east wind is
right on your starboard beam.
Up ahead you see a Hobie Cat 14 sailing fast flying a

hull and he's headed right at
your bow (he's going south). He changes course to the west

and you change course to the
east.
Did you act the way the colregs tell you to?



The Optimist Pram is at the bottom of the pecking order, 2nd
to last, just above Yellow Coronado 27'.

Can't you say something just once that makes sense?


Cheers,

Makes perfect sense to anybody that knows the ASA
anti-collision rules.

Aww, give her a break. At least she apologized for dissing
Ol' Thom, sort of.
