Dangerous Maga-yacht in Maine
"Scotty" wrote in message . .. "Gerald" wrote in message ... ??? I am not sure what do you mean ??? As I mentioned prior ... I know the rules. This thread has evolved to be somewhat fuzzy. At no point did the original poster state that the incident took place outside the COLREG line (I am not personnaly familiar with the Portland area). Several give-and-takes that have taken place here discussed the use of sound signals to give passing intentions. This is a concept that does not exist in normal passing situations in COLREG waters. In INTERNATIONAL waters sound signals are generally (except for narrow channels) used to announce steering actions taken, not proposed actions as in INLAND. I incorrectly asssumed from the context of the discussion that the discussion was about an event that took place under INLAND. Having since checked a chart for the Portland area, it is now apparent that the incident may have occured ouside the COLREGS line. While I certainly didn't say that the INTERNATIONAL rules did not apply, nor that the INLAND rules did apply, you could reasonable assume that thay may have been my intention. If so, I stand corrected. that was a lot of words just to admit you were wrong. A lot of words to explain that there was no clear way to tell which rules applied. In fact much of the supporting discussions and information provided by the original poster would lead one (not familiar with the actual area in question) to assume it was under INLAND rules. |
