With the Pride of Bilbao incident that sank Yacht Ouzo and killed all on board, fresh in our minds, we couldn't believe it when this yacht decided to sail right across the ferry's bows as we left Bilbao's harbour. Yachtsman should seriously consider their actions as this ferry could never have stopped in time. It was a very close call.

  • On the sea there are rules, and rules should be respected. Merchantmen are so fuck' overbearing.. A sailboat under sail HAS right of way!

  • 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

  • the name of the song???? please

  • The unwritten rule of the sea is: might is right. Keep this in mind and have a pleasant sail

  • 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.

  • Why does everything have to be a music video? What is wrong with just hearing the sounds of the moment. Maybe evan tell us what we are looking at.

  • I could do without the jungle music.

  • @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

  • what a wally

  • bunch of twats

  • 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.

  • I agree it was totally reckless

  • Agree totally!
