Starboard!
Glad to see the phenomena of small boats wandering around aimlessly when the bigger boats are going for their start isn't just a recent one.

Basic Right-Of-Way Rules in order of Precedence
1 A vessel which is running free shall keep out of the way of a vessel which is close-hauled.
2 A vessel which is close-hauled on the port tack shall keep out of the way cf a vessel which is close-hauled on the starboard tack.
3 When both are running free, with the wind on different sides, the vessel which has the wind on the port side shall keep out of the way of the other.
4 When both are running free, the vessel which is to the windward shall keep out of the way of the vessel which is to the leeward.
5 A vessel which has the wind aft shall keep out of the way of the other vessel.
6 Every Vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the overtaken vessel regardless of the rules above.
7 When a powered vessel and a sailing vessel are proceeding in a direction that involves a risk of collision, the powered vessel shall keep out of the way of the sailing vessel. (Do NOT assume that all power boat operators know and follow this rule!)
8 Most important of all, when a serious collision is imminent, all boats involved must do their utmost to avoid it, regardless of any rule or right-of-way situation.
and more importantly
A small one shall keep away from big ones

I did like Rule 7 - which I didn't add anything to! The suspicion by raggies that mobo jockeys are not always as aware of the rules as they could be predates DAKA by quite some time.

I was not previously aware of this set of rules, coming from the East coast I follow International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea which dont appear consistent with your Solent version .
It explains perhaps why there are so many apparent clots on the water if they are following your solent rules.

Why don't both these sloops alter and go on Stbd tack for just a few minutes to clear the warship, and then resume their courses ? After all, they are not flying spinnakers or other complications. I have seen this often, and even with regard to tugs pushing or towing. Is it laziness, arrogance, or lack of prudent seamanship ? What do other forumites think ?

Because neither of them are on a collision course with the frigate?

It may be that the frigate is tearing along and its bearing altering rapidly. It is very difficult to tell from a snapshot. But I think it prudent to give big fast vessels a wide berth, and done in good time.

If you look at the yacht on the right, does it seem to have dumped the main to slow down and let the frigate pass? You can't see any of the context from that photo - are there channel markers or did both yachts change course just after the photo was taken or did the frigate change course just before?
