![]() Like many clubs and marinas, mine is protected by a large set of breakwaters. There is a single entrance/exit for each of the North/South clubs. When re-entering the club, I will always give way to any boat attempting to leave. They simply have fewer steerage options in the center channel, while I have 360 degrees of options. I circle away until the exiting boat is clear. A few days ago a sailboat was coming up on the breakwater while I was attempting to leave, both of us under power and both equal distance from the entrance/exit. Seeing that the other boat had no intention of giving way, I slowed and held position. I let him know what a dickhead he was, but he appeared confused. To me it seemed like common sense. Give way to the exiting boat as he's far more limited. Everyone I asked agreed that I had the right of way. Is there a "rule" for this? Who had the right of way? Capt RB |
