It's not. This happened in Oregon, late 2017. The Bayliner was being driven by 75 year old Marlin Larsen, who was allegedly on his phone at the time. He plead "not guilty" to three counts each of assault and reckless endangerment, and one count of reckless operation of a vessel but died of old age before the case was able to go to court. All three of the passengers survived the accident and we're treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Needless to say, their boat did not.

They all survived with non-life threatening injuries and the driver of the Bayliner died of old age before their case was able to go to court.

Because the driver of the Bayliner was on his phone and I'm guessing they didn't want to get crushed.

That guy should lose his license to operate any motor vehicle for 5 yrs. No empathy, no conscience = narcissist.

I didn't think you would have the time for sailing. With all your football duties and such.

@@brinjoness3386 oh, yes indeed my name is Henrik Larsson and I’m from Helsingborg. However a common name. I actually where in the grade above him in high school and played with him a few times at school. He was outstanding!!!

@@henriklarsson7835 Nice 1 man. I should imagine he is treated as royalty in half of Glasgow. In Wales my name is very common, i live in Australia now so only my surname is common. Sorry for making a joke you are probably sick of. Take care and keep your sails full.

@@brinjoness3386 I’m living in Singapore so I actually enjoy the jokes. Still get comments from old taxi drivers. In Singapore you order the taxi through an app and they get so disappointed when they see me. Great start on a conversation though. Keep on sailing - very little winds here in Singapore though

@@henriklarsson7835 Im in perth, next stop Antarctica, sea breeze arives at lunch. Normally. No shipping lane interference and no Malacca strait currents. Come for a sail anytime. And i will remember to order taxis under the name lionel messi in Singapore

He is not in open waters as you assume. Next to that the fast ferry is less manoeuvrable.

@@MonkPetite The authorities in Russia agreed with you. "The windsurfer was blamed for the accident by the Russian emergencies' ministry. It said he was guilty of 'a gross violation' of the Maritime Code by crossing the ferry route" according to www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7086665/Horrific-moment-Russian-windsurfer-18-killed-hitting-high-speed-ferry.html I don't know what the "Maritime Code" is but it may be unique to Russia. Unless the ferry was in a "narrow channel" (Colregs rule 9), it would not be restricted and the sailing vessel, in this case a windsurfer, would have right of way. Commercial vessels are not distinguished from recreational in the Colregs, but power boats are distinguished from sailboats. The article above said he was "crossing a ferry route" but "ferry route" is not a term in the rules. In rule 10 (c) we see "A vessel shall, so far as practicable, avoid crossing traffic lanes but if obliged to do so shall cross on a heading as nearly as practicable at right angles to the general direction of traffic flow." The problem is that in the pictured situation, there is no demarcation of a traffic lane. I could be 1/2 mile either direction. I doubt if this ferry would qualify as being "restricted in its ability to maneuver, " like a tug with a barge or a dredge. The San Francisco Board Sailing Association states that commercial vessel have right of way, and I've written them for clarification and will get back to you. As I said, this distinction does not occur in the rules. All that said, clearly the windsurfer wasn't paying attention and paid the price.

@@terrulian thanks ! Interesting read. In most European countries the local , inland and costal waters are different in regulations. They added stuff . The “colregs” are the bases but they are amended with restrictions. For sample . Big go’s over small’ fast over small. Commercial over pleasure. The last one is more for inland channels and harbours. The good seamanship discussion is more or less ruled over by these additions.

@@MonkPetite The Colregs never distinguish between commercial and recreational, and only in limited instances does size matter. I would very much appreciate it if you could find citations for your views in the actual rules so I could correct my opinions. Yes, the Colregs include a distinction between inland and international rules, but the inland rules also do not mention size or use. Some harbors and waterways do have additional rules, and apparently the Russian "Maritime Code" is an example. There is a very good reason for this. Suppose two boats are meeting, one 130 feet long, and one 135. If there were an incident and the "rule of tonnage" that you mention applied, would the smaller boat be responsible? How could the length be determined upon sight? As to commercial vs. recreational, on SF Bay we have all kinds of vessels--private boats, tankers, ferries, excursion boats, and private charter boats. The private charter boats, which must follow coast guard rules for equipage and qualifications for commercial vessels, look just like normal recreational boats. How can we distinguish between them on the fly? If damage or death occurs, and both boats "look like" recreational boats, who is liable according to the "commercial over recreational" rule? I contacted the local board surfer association president, and asked him about their statement that board surfers must give way to ships. He was very helpful and cordial, and admitted there was no specific basis for this in the rules, but that since they have to give advice to hundreds of people who will never bother to read the rules, he gives them easily followed guidance that will in most cases keep them out of trouble. When I asked him, he agreed that in the case of an incident, the lawyers for the families of the deceased may refer to the actual rules. Clearly, any idiot can see it makes no sense to play footsie with a large shipping vessel. But the rules aren't written for obvious cases, rather for cases that present ambiguities and may evolve quickly, and which may result in damage, injury, or death. They were arrived at by analyzing thousands of incidents over decades, are written in plain English, and have the force of law.

@@terrulian it’s not that easy. The colreg are basic where under more regulations for local use are written. Along the European coast several sections are having their own additional regulations. As you mentioned most all big harbours have an book of ruls laid for their controlled sections. As the north sea covers a big part of the Dutch coast to narrow down into the channel this part is clearly an example for others sections to follow. A well written sections of rules is available on the Internet. Form the colreg basis there are 4 blocks of additional regulations. Territorial waters, harbour & approach, inland waters , river waters. On all 4 different sanctions and of citations can be issued. I will seek a translation on what I have ..post it later. As a pleasure vessel is the underdog to commercial some commercial captains are literally ignoring the pressure crafts. Obviously thats not te smartest thing to do. ( you cant claim a right , it must be given to you . Thats good seamanship) Your equal big ships with even loading as commercial are in dispute good seamanship is the frist rule. Like in the basis of the colreg. This applies in al 4 blocks. But in addition to the basic regulations more can be added. For sample , was two way radio contact established with sector control and in between ships, what ship could move best to avoid, Even engine power , current and or weather can be factor. This is why commercial ships have a local pilot onboard. Basically spread the load responsibility by good advice. The law tells the commercial ship to have a pilot onboard. But also protects the pilot to have full responsibility over the ship. He is een mandatory advisor. Going in the harbours bigger or heavier ship can’t move well or need speed to be safe the channels getting smaller. So bigger ships need more assistance at some point. See here why bigger ships have more right of way they cant stop nor deviate. In practical sense.. Yes they will crush your dingy motor as that is not there intention... additional harbour rules can be .. towed from the dock to enter a channel . Although under tow the channel traffic has the right of way not being manoeuvrable as the ship under tow. See here the basic colreg has reversed en local law prevails.

Yep! Just like a big plow blade. A lot is learned sailing downwind on the edge. They were definitely moving right along.

a preventer would not be usefull to prevent this and the main sail is ok for a race il you take that le boat wild be less stable. the crew is foo far ... 3 of them should be sitting behind on top of the rudder . one for the spinaker and second to realise the low hale (excuse my english) it's enought
