Up ahead you see a Hobie Cat 14 sailing fast flying a hull and

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



No. ColRegs clearly state that 180# men are not allowed in Optimist prams.

Most people (under the age of 8) that would sail an Optimist pram
wouldn't have the reading level to read ColRegs...they'd just be
grateful that they didn't do a tippy....
