The navigating officers on the ship are all certified and have to have an intimate knowledge of the collision regulations by law. The guy in the yacht is under no requirement to know anything to take a yacht to sea. Therefore whatever the qualified officers on the ship know, it is useless against someone who knows nothing as they cannot predict that the yachttie will comply with any rules or not.
So who knows the owner of "NEXUS". He needs a bloody good bollocking.
People like him give the rest of us a bad name. How much extra time would it have cost him to either stop and wait or just alter course to go astern of the ferry? 60 seconds at most.
what? who puts coolio in a youtube video? come on.. minus 2 points for you. as for the yacht, i guess they dont care if the lose 10 points being stupid.. but they still lost 10.
Yeah, it's a generic horn mp3 off the net, not the recorded sound off the camera, see how there's no other sound from the camera, just Gangsta's Paradise (why?), and a horn sound.
The Pride of Bilbao blow her horn 5 times to warn the yacht in front of her,Rule 34d (the vessel in doubt shall immediately indicate such doubt by giving at least five short and rapid blasts on the whistle) this what she did
Maybe he didn't start the video in time to get the recording of the sound so he put it in after wards. P of B im sure sounded the horn long before the vessel came close.
GD your correct. The PB had the right of way over the sailboat. To many sailboater think they have the right of way over any boat but that just not so. Also if they have their engine in gear and are motoring (also called motor sailing) are treated like any other motor boat a cording to the rules.
Right. I'm willing to bet those guys were motoring, speed they were doing with no genny out. They should have put two black balls up, really. Not that anyone really does that outside the yachtmaster exam, which this idiot clearly hasn't taken.
Seen enough silly mistakes to know that RYA day skipper is no substitute for experience when IRPCS is concerned. Some harbours in the Med you'll hear those five blasts often and just -know- it's some prat in a Beneteau running foul of the local ferry. :)
We went Yachting In Greece this year and decided to use up some of our out-of-date distress flares in a local harbour.....We were quickly joined by the maritime police who threatened us with arrest. Also I would say that it's VERY difficult to judge speed and direction out at see, particularaly when you are not in sight of land but you just need to be sensible
No, It's not very difficult to determine course and speed if you KNOW HOW. Firing flares in a non-distress situation would probably result with the same consequences in any harbour. Ignorance is not bliss on the seas.
and also No jib up, mainsail alone, no lifejackets, crossing the path of a merchant vessel far, far too close, so close she has to give 5 short blasts for "danger".
Come and hit my 800 foot bulker. I won't even feel and you won't even scratch my paint.
Oh, and by the way, many companies are chasing the watchstanding AB out of the pilothouse during the day hours to join the paint 'n chip/rinse gang, so feel free to aim for my bow why I walk back into the chartroom to plot a fix or answer the false distress on the GMDSS (because we canned the radio officer too!).
This is the vessel that is currently going through the courts, (More to the point an OOW (Officer of the Watch) is going through the courts in the deaths of the crew on the yacht OUZO which was run down by this vessel on the back of the Isle of Wight.
According to A seamans guide to the Rule of the Road, Rule18b.A sailing vessel underway shall keep out of the way of a vessel restricted in her abilty to manoeuvre
If you notice the vessel is under Mailsail alone. Therefore she is a motor vessel. Plus I might add that within Europe and the UK through European legislation a bill is being prepared for Brussels that Commercial vessels have right of way over non commercial vessel then Rules of the road follows.
NOT over a vessel which is limited in its ability to manouvre.
Do you have ANY experience?
Your basic PB level 1/2 will tell you that what is a huge open sea for you could be a narrow channel for a ship!
We had this on Monday 9th June when we were coming back in to Portsmouth. 5 short sharp blasts on the fog horn and he was out of the way. The yachty was pulled by the police patrol boat. They didn't look best pleased!!
@eriksaw A sailing vessel does not have right of way over a vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in her ablity to manoeuvre, a vessel engaged in fishing, a power driven vessel operating withing the constraints of a narrow channel and a power driven vessel operating within a traffic seperation scheme. Some merchant officers get tired of the "power always gives way to sail" attitude that causes so many accidents when in fact that's not always the case
No jib up, mainsail alone, no lifejackets, crossing the path of a merchant vessel far, far too close, so close she has to give 5 short blasts for "danger".
They are not yachties, anymore than a drug cheat is an athelete, or a pedophile cleric a priest.
The unwritten rule of the sea is: might is right. Keep this in mind and have a pleasant sail
