Collision at gillkicker point last night.

Showing the incorrect lights does not make you/them the stand on vessel!

That status is given by 'fishing' as defined in the ColRegs, not by incorrectly showing the lights of a 'fishing' vessel.

Sorry, I just cottoned on that I appear to approve because I said "They just do this because it then gives them right of way over most other craft. "
I should have said that it gives them the right of way because this is what 100% of fishermen here believe implicitly - and nobody can tell them otherwise.
