Who's at fault here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2hrUSs9ndA&NR=1 The vessel from which the footage was taken was in this instance the "give way vessel" under both Inland and International Rules. It almost appears that this vessel had no one at the helm and was proceeding on autopilot and without a lookout, but that's speculation. Nowadays when I see situations like this, involving at least one commercial vessel, and endangering so many passengers, I am no longer surprised. This happens all too often and is quite preventable. -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://home.comcast.net/~kerrydeare |

"Joe" wrote in message oups.com... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2hrUSs9ndA&NR=1 The vessel in the foreground is *primarily* at fault because he was the give-way vessel having the other on his starboard bow. He should have turned to starboard and passed to the rear of the vessel in the background. But, both are at partial fault for a number of reasons. Neither sounded any warnings and neither took evasive action. It looks like a case where both pilots were asleep at the wheel. Wilbur Hubbard |

Possible that this was on a lake in some nation with different rules. To me, it looks like the smaller boat (hitee), Prince Wales(?), was flying a Dutch flag. I tried to listen to the voices, but couldn't make out the language. Leanne |
