The bigger you are the more right of way you have. Doesn't matter if
you are on the highway or on the water.


According to the regulation I've read, this is incorrect a lot of the
time.


Read this, "The bigger you are, the more likely you are to win in an
altercation."

The sailboat loses. End of story. No admiralty court is going to fault
the supertanker captain. Even with a proper lookout, there is no way
in hell they could have seen the sailboat dart in from of them. Even
if they could have, there is no way they could have stopped.

Boats don't have brakes. You have to work around that.


LOL I have feeling I'm glad I just saw this thread but wish I'd seen it's
beginning.....Interpret6ation of Rules always interesting
