Further to my earlier message - I was surprised to get so many replies, but before it gets out of hand and people start accusing each other, I would just like to clarify what I meant. I am fully aware of the Col Regs and completeley agree that the stand on vessel has the right of way, but it also states that the stand on vessel is duty bound to avoid a collision, even if they had the right of way. At the end of the day, and especially now there are so many high speed sailing boats around in our crowded inshore waters, it is up to everyone to keep a good look-out, act sensibly, and if necessary give way, even if technically they have the right of way., otherwise we will find ourselves with more and more government interference, rules, training courses, regulations, etc. Think about it!
