There is no such thing as "right of way" except for one specific instance in the inland rules.

Clear September weekday so empty waters. And a rare morning sail with great wind from the right direction. Fishing dragger with stabilizers down is slowing bearing down on us from astern. 30 minutes later and he would have run right up our transom if I did not alter course and risk a roundup in the process Prick was on bridge. Wouldnt answer radio. Some of those commercial guys just have a bad attitude towards us "yachties" Either it's black or white with them...competent or maliciously incompetent. 1981 40-2. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
