ASA question #119
OzOne wrote in message ...
On Mon, 9 Oct 2006 20:01:32 -0700, "Capt. JG" scribbled thusly: 3 pts for the best answer. Fewer points for second, third best. You're sailing a 36' relatively modern sailboat sailing on a broad reach, starboard tack. To port is another sailboat also sailing on a starboard tack, approaching on a beam reach. Additionally, to starboard of your vessel is a sailboat under power. The pecking order is obviously, leward over windward, sail over power. Unfortunately, the sailboat under power is not giving way. You signal several times using various methods available, but they're distracted, don't respond, perhaps don't know what to do. You can't turn to starboard, because that would be directly into the sailboat under power. You can't jibe, because that would be directly into the approaching sailboat on the port. Time is rapidly running out to avoid a collision, which you're required to do. What are your options? What would you do? Welll, I'd sneak up right alongside that idiot and give him a huge piece of my mind ...... 1/2 pt awarded for action after the fact. :-) |
