Re: VOR boat in Fatal Collision.

Kinda hard for a boat doing 1.5 to 3 knots with a bloody great net 500 odd metres behind him getting out of the way of a boat doing 20kts dont you think.
Funny how people out to play seem to think...

Re: VOR boat in Fatal Collision.

I think it would depend on whether the fishing boat was actively engaged in fishing.. in which case All vessels are under obligation to steer clear.. including race boats.

Not necessarily.. could well be they're allowed to leave on licence as only the skipper will be held responsible anyway.
Arrangements can be made..

Re: VOR boat in Fatal Collision.

I am not blaming anyone.. just commenting on speculations.. as I said earlier it was likely a traditional old wooden junk fishing boat.. wooden boats do sink fast if some planks are sprung.

Re: VOR boat in Fatal Collision.

One can see the Bridge/Navigation lights of a container ship from a very long way off.. lights on a yacht.. not 1/4 so far.. if that.. and they have good radar.

Re: VOR boat in Fatal Collision.

I would imagine it was most likely a traditional Chinese junk rigged fishing boat.. else it would have looked like the fishing boats we see around the world with bright working lights at the stern...
