"Roger Long" wrote in message ... Or someone who take Right of Way way, way, too seriously. I can't believe he didn't see a vessel that big and interesting. It seems far more likely that he was trying for a close pass ahead and misjudged the speed or a stern buzz and didn't anticipate the huge airflow disruption a vessel of this size would create. It looks like he was trying to tack just before contact. Looks like a hot dogging stunt gone bad. -- Roger Long It appears the smaller sailboat was the 'stand on' vessel (starboard tack) and the larger the 'give way vessel' (port tack). It will be interesting who is found at fault here. |
