Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

Slowly turning away from congestion is a solution (if it can work). Turning to a 180 degree course is a solution (if it can work). I stated that if there is NO solution the only appropriate course of...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

Wait a minute...You have personally witnessed large ships change course by only one degree from way out? Stop it! All the powers that be on this forum say that is not possible and simply won't work!...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

Well let's not open that can of worms, er, um, actually lets. Think of a can of worms. None can turn or advance without risk of contact with another. The only solution is for all to stop. I agree...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

Incorrect. If there is no solution to avoid collision it is your last and only option.

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

Oh OK,

Here is my strategy.

Always Follow Colregs.

When multiple vessels are involved that you are the give way vessel to, plot a course to deal with the most imminent risk of collision...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

I simply don't understand this last sentence. No where do the rules state they only apply to one of many vessels. They clearly state they apply to all vessels. The rules do not offer guidance. They...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

Sorry, collision avoidance is not that difficult if one simply keeps watch, stands on, gives way, and applies some common sense as required.

I understand that you keep selecting the worst...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

No, but my Dad was on the "Fitz" when at the ore docks in Picton, ON.

I watched him and 9 other men (5 swung over the side from the deck of the ship) pull the unloaded boat up to the dock. This...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

1 mile way or get sucked in? Absolutely preposterous. When the freighters are between Niagara River and the St, Lawrence they are sailing full steam ahead. They produce a bow wave and wake like any...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

I don't understand. It is not an issue of who can get further away from whom faster. 180 ft is plenty of distance from any size vessel side or stern. On the race course, when avoiding, 1mm is best;...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

This is nonsense!

Of course Col Regs covers multiple target situations.

Obligations are simply determined by considering 2 boats at a time, earliest collision first.

But one has to then...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

Just out of curiosity, what do you believe the real and significant difference between having "right of way" and being a "stand on" vessel, or being the "burdened" or "give way" vessel, other than...

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

I don't understand, how does raising a motoring cone help you? If under sail with no motor, you are burdened by more vessels.

Nobody should ever request a stand on vessel give way or vise versa....

Re: Collision Avoidance -- Dealing with Multiple Targets

Col Regs do not change due to any of these conditions.

If you can see them (by any means) you can treat them accordingly.

I should add that the sailpast was 20 years ago and I remember it like yesterday it was such a beautiful thing.
