direction traffic.

Hey Bill.
Here it is for you ins very simple terms

A boat is NOT a car.

DSK


But passing is passing.


Where Bill boats they have yellow lines painted on the water.
And traffic lights at the intersections.

I really believe he has turn signals on his boat.

Actually some of the lakes in the USA have buoys defining the lanes of
travel, and all boats have to go in the same direction on the same side of
the buoys. And I guess a Hoby Cat can turn which ever direction he wants at
any time he wants, without penalty of he hits another boat?

I guess you don't know the Rules of the Road.

Hint: It's a Hobie not a Hoby Cat.

Wow, you're really knowledgeable about boats!

So it was a Hobie Cat you were bearing down on at 25MPH.

Were you trying to get revenge because of this;

No, it was a 25' sailboat under power. A powerboat. They then raised
sails, while motor is still running and made a 90 degree turn in front of
me. Still a powerboat. And I guess DSK would argue that it is a sailboat
at all times.

BTW would you mind not crossposting quite so much?

I guess you have to make my statements for me, since you have no answer
for the ones I actually make myself.

If the sailboat was being propelled by a motor, then they have to obey
the rules as a motorboat.

That does not excuse you from passing too close & too fast.

And, if you knew 1/2 as much about sailing as you think you know, it
would have been easy to see that they were preparing to raise their
sails, which usually is done while turned head-to-wind. They should have
checked for traffic first.

You are *still* not excused from passing too close & too fast.

He was going too fast. No time. He was late for lunch.

Seems as if you and yours are beating it to death. If there was time to
raise him on the VHF, we would have been a lot further apart when he turned.
