Default My seamanship question #4

I personnally have tacked up Gulfport small craft channel (at one
point about 40' across), with a dead engine in a boat drawing 5' and
had teenagers on sunfish screaming starboard at me. They might need
to go back to the sailing school and learn the meaning of "least
manueverable".

OK, I have to ask. What is the rule of "Least Maneuverable"? Is this
some special local rule down in the Gulf? I scanned the Colregs and
it doesn't show up there.

You invoked that before but didn't quite explain. Did you mean that
the sport fisherman has right of way because its less maneuverable?
