CoolWhip Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I love all the comments arguing about who is at fault... maybe they both should have steered away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thGix Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 The boat that had the camera in it is the "give way" vessel and the other was the "stand on". The "give way" vessel must change course and speed to avoid collision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I think the de facto 'give way' vessel is the smaller one.Kinda like how a prius needs to give way to an 18wheeler - laws and ettiquette always seem to play second fiddle to physics. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thGix Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yeah most laws work after the fact. When I take the boat out on a busy weekend I basically seems like a free for all. Days like that its better to just find quiet spot and toss the anchor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-bus Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 We sailed out of sandusky for years. We always had the right of way to power boats and freighters ....... all the way to the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I don't care who has the right of way, you have a freaking mile to see this coming, get the fuck out of the way. Unless they were playing the slowest game of chicken ever, in that case touché to the bigger boat, you obviously won that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienpi Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 It looked like the small boat was coming at the large boat faster than the large was going towards the small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 It never surprises me at the amount of morons that get behind the wheel of the boat with absolutely zero knowledge of the laws of the waterway or even common courtesy. I can't remember a single summer I've been on the lake that I don't see dumb shit like this on a regular basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Boat ROW rules are weird and not as well defined as road rules. Depending on the type of vessels you can have a situation where one rule gives YOU right of way, whereas another rule gives THEM right of way.None of that matters though - this was a clear day and they both had plenty time to avoid that collision.

Scruit Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Small boat yields to big boatPowered boat yields to sail boatGive-way boat yeilds to Stand-on boat.Shallow boat yeilds to Draft-limited boat.So who has ROW when a large sailboat meets a smaller but draft-limited powered vessel on its right?

20thGix Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Here is your pecking order simplified.-Boat not under command (injured operator)-Boat with restricted maneuverbility (tug boat)-Boat with constrained draft-Fishing vessel (not the guy trolling for walleye in lake erie. Commercial with long lines or nets)-Sailboat-Power boatSo i would say the sailboat needs to giveway. If im reading what your thinking right. It does seem confusing. There are alot of scenerios that you just wont run into inland. Most importantly just dont act like a dick out on the water and your fine. Say your going thru a channel on an inland lake. There is a boat coming the opposite direction. Now if you started giving him a 1 short or 2 short blast from the horn letting him know if you were going to pass on the port or starboard side he would look at you like WTF 99% of the time. I just move out of his way, wave and go about my afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
