There is no right of way, and the tanker has preference, and if they collide, the sailor's estate may have to pay to fix the scratches in the paint of the tankers hull. Yep.

The tanker in the bay have stand on status. Other vessels must give way. Don't worry, if you try to claim stand on status with a tanker, they'll let you know their preference. BTW, you usually wouldn't be t-boned by the tanker. Probably the bow wake would push you aside, then flip the boat around, then you'd smash into the side of the hull, shattering your boat like an egg. A few seconds later, the prop would finish the job. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

What about it? It's in the regs. Is the engine engaged or just running? Are you talking about the propulsion system or the genset?

Do you know how you're supposed to tell other boats what you're doing when your engine is engaged and your sails are up after dark? How about during the day? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

.... If your gas engine is running, you are a power boat! If you are in neutral, engine running, you are a power boat, Wrong! The propulsion system must be "used" for it to be a sailboat. It is clearly true that if you see a sailboat, with the sails up, making way as a sailboat, and not showing the steaming light or cone, you must treat it as a sailboat. And similarly, if you are being treated as a sailboat, it would be best to behave in a consistent manner. On the other hand, if you had an engine available for immediate use, and failed to use it to avoid a collision, you'd have some serious explaining to do! But, that would also be true even if the engine wasn't running. This does not mean, of course, that a sailboat under power can slip into neutral anytime and suddenly claim rights as a sailor. But, if an engine is running it doesn't mean it is automatically a powerboat. For example, some engines require several minutes of warmup before they can be engaged. |

All of our inboard are diesel, so I guess we're home free and can run into
whomever we want. Thanks for the tip! Do our outboards count if they're running but in neutral? How about if I leave the prop out of the water while it's running and just feed the water intake from a hose? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Scotty" wrote in message ...
