Jet Ski overheating problem
"Bill McKee" wrote in message news:fkaaf.4109 I know what is involved with sailing. Married a good sailors daughter and used to windsurf. But too many "sailors" figure they have the right of way as they have a sailboat. I have had "sailors" do a 90 degree in front of me when lifting the sails and the iron sail is still running, and then yell at me. They would yell even louder if I collided with them and when they had to pay enormous sums of money to me. Bill, if "you" collided with them, "you" would be at fault. It is your responsibility, under Rule 8, the collision regulations, to avoid a collision. Jim |

His responsibility requires him to avoid the collision and has to keep in a continous direction when being overtaken. |

I find this hard to believe somehow. Do you want to try for second prize? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

You are breaking several of the Collision Regulations. rule 5, rule 6, rule 7, and rule 8. You have disregarded all of these. How? You were not paying attention in rule 5, and allowed yourself to get too close to the sailboat. You were going to fast to avoid the collision which is in contradiction of rule 6. You, most definitely broke rule 7, (part a.) in as much as you collided with the sailboat. You broke rule 8 because you did not take action to avoid the collision. Jim |

Prove I was not paying attention, and that an illegal direction change while being overtaken did not cause the accident. |

If "you" hit the sailboat that means that you were not paying attention to various factors, those factors being your speed & your proximity to the sailboat. Ergo.......your broke Rule 5. The sailboat making a bad move has nothing to do with it. You were too close! You were going too fast! You hit the sailboat! You're in the wrong....... Jim Carter "The Boat" Bayfield. |

I may get a minority of the blame, but he CAN NOT CHANGE DIRECTION IN FRONT OF THE OVERTAKING BOAT! He gets the majority of the fault. |

Bzzzzt... it doesn't matter. You need to be prepared to avoid the stand-on boat. Being 15 ft away at 25 MPH (and why are you using MPH????) is being unprepared. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
