Every time there is a question about the col regs on these forums (such as the one on fishing in PBO), I am amazed by the number of people who post with the wrong answer. It seems most worrying to me that so many people out there have no or a very poor grasp of the regulations.
Either it matters if you know your regs or it doesn't. If it does there is a case for more training and/or forced training or a detailed knowledge of the regs is really not needed to sail safely in which case a lot of effort is being wasted, on RYA courses etc.
I know there are alot of people who operate on the keep out of the way of anything bigger than me principle.
Before I am flamed out can I make two pionts; one, I am not claiming I am always right. Two, there are pionts in the regulations which are unclear or a matter for debate but fishing shapes is not one of them.
