Yes. If you were other than the novice you run around accusing others

you would know that a 36 foot sailboat with engine off, and a 36

the motor off are equals in the pecking order.

Of course there is no difference between a boat under command and one
not under command. Really? All vessels are required to avoid
collisions. If one can manuver and the other cannot, they are not
equal. One is expected to do something, the other is not. You are not
allowed to hit a drifting boat with one under command. There is a day
shape for under way but not under command. Two black balls. Sometimes
called ' Panamanian running lights ' by the merchant sailors.

Are you drunk? I said that a sailboat with it's engine off and a
powerboat with
it's engine off are equals. I did not say either was using any sort of
alternate
propulsion. They are both drifting. REALLY!

Sailboats mostly sail, often with engine off. Doesn't make them
adrift. I assumed the sailboat was sailing. Adrift never occured to
me.

The discussion came about because someone suggested that there was
some sort of difference between the status of a drifting sailboat and
a drifting powerboat.

The PB is higher in the pecking order, since the people on the sailboat are
laughing so hard at the PB that's adrift that they can't function
temporarily. They'll soon recover and have to negotiate around the PB.
