Dangerous Maga-yacht in Maine
OK, this is getting a little confusing ... did this event take place outside
the COLREG demarcation line I see just to the south of the island? Your initial post has spun off some other discussions that could benefit from this clarification.more below "Roger Long" wrote in message ... "Gary" wrote Finally, how did you determine that risk of collision existed with this yacht? What piece of information was key to causing you to maneouvre? I had a very good sight of his stem head remaining exactly in line with the masts for a long period of time in a steady wind during which he remained in the same place behind my bow pulpit. After I ran off about 100 yards, making a clear enough course change demonstrate an intention for us to pass "one whistle", he passed about 50 yards to windward. If you were outside the COLREGS line, your "one whistle" signal told the skipper of the other vessel that "I am altering my course to starboard". This would require no response from the other vessel. Inside the COLREGS line your "one whistle" signal would indicate your intention to pass on his port side and that he should either agree with a similar response or disagree with a 5 whistle. I am not trying to justify the other vessels actions or criticize your... just understand what happened. |
