Of course, you wouldn't expect a %^$^% jet ski operator to know that. ;-) Here's a solution: Not 100% correct Correct. When it appears that maintaining course will result in a collision, both vessels are singally required to do whatever it takes to avoid that collision. At that point, "stand-on" or "give-way" is moot, other than in court. |

Although what you say is basically true, what I was referring to was the term "right of way"...... it is still used in Rule 9 Inland USA |

At that point, "stand-on" or "give-way" is moot, other than in court. In fact there was a case in the Singapore court a few years back where two vessels in a controlled port traffic system were both deemed to be in the wrong. One vessel for deviating from the specified channel and ignoring instructions of the traffic controller, and the second for not taking all possible action to avoid the collision.

I was motoring at five knots when a jet ski came roaring across my bow from starboard at about full speed for those things. As he went by at 30 knots, he screamed, "You %$#@* (reproductive reference) (feminine hygine reference), I had the right of way! Huh. Who ever heard of a jet ski operator even knowing that there was such a thing? Our speed disparity was such that any course or speed alteration I could have made wouldn't have significantly altered my status as an essentially stationary object. His course was dead straight and the passing distance wasn't any less than is typical for these buzz bombs. Nice to know that one of these bozos has read a boating book though. -- Roger Long Nobody has the "right of way". You're a stand-on or give-way vessel. Of course, you wouldn't expect a %^$^% jet ski operator to know that. ;-) Here in New York State, all us pwc operators/enthusiasts know that because we have to pass a boating safety course certification test in order to legally operate our boats (pwc's). In my opinion it should be that way in all states for all boaters (regardless of the size and shape of their hulls)....just like for automobile drivers. Maybe I haven't thought it through deeply enough, but I don't mind being stopped and checked to see that I have a fire extinguisher, my certification license, registration and all other required safety equipment; the rules make sense and it's a good idea to make sure that people know them and are obeying them. I always appreciate the chance to make a good impression (and dispel certain stereotypes)on behalf of all my fellow educated, responsible pwc'ers. richforman |

At any rate, of course in any segment of boaters (not just pwc's) we could come up with lots of recent stories of people hurting and killing themselves and others by doing stupid dangerous irresponsible things and not knowing how to conduct themselves on the water. richforman |
