Hi to all,
Here is the case for you. Say you are anchored in quite deep waters 15+, steep bottom with not the best holding, and you also have stern lines on rocks. The boat stood well in last breeze, so now at 13:00 you are seeping your ouzo reading your book and keeping an eye on the building breeze on your bow. You then realize that your leeward neighbor has dragged his hook and is about to start hitting the rocks with first victim his rudder. You shout, but the guy is not in. A line on your bow could possibly do the trick but you do not like to push your luck with the extra pull on your hook. So you opt to step on board, find his second hook, with your tender drop it where it should be, take the slack –end of story, bravo. But what if this boat decided to snap her rudder while you were on board? Could you be accused for this? Would you do it anyway? In case you decided to go for a swim and watch from the distance does your options change if we put this boat on your windward side? Very interested on your thoughts.
