Don't remember the exact details but a few years back a 36ft yacht was capsized and four or five lives lost when it was swamped by the wake of a Cross Channel ferry E of the Isle of Wight..

NO.. you'd be to close to his beam and the bow wave is the main threat..

Depends on the sea state and the size of your boat.. easier to ease off the genoa and close at 4knots.. that should alter the CPA to at least 500'.. :thumb:
