Yellow is not the right of way boat, she's only entitled to room until she becomes r-o-w boat after pos 5, and that's after the contact has occurred.Joshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346870418220762709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-6245394881687198292008-01-19T13:58:00.000+01:002008-01-19T13:58:00.000+01:00That's true.

However I think she does have an obligation under rule 15 to give the other boat room to keep clear.<BR/><BR/>In the situation you describe Yellow didn't give that room. Although Yellow isn't bound to rule 16.1, she remains bound to rule 15.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275257369709609372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-14114378583442198322008-01-17T12:41:00.000+01:002008-01-17T12:41:00.000+01:00But Yellow has no restriction under 16.1, because ...But Yellow has no restriction under 16.1, because she is not the r-o-w boat?Joshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346870418220762709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-51345792197490892282008-01-17T03:46:00.000+01:002008-01-17T03:46:00.000+01:00JosInteresting addition to the wording of the fact...Jos<BR/><BR/>Interesting addition to the wording of the facts.<BR/>Can yellow do what she wants? No. The rules talk about "room" and the def describe the space for manuvering in a seaman like fashion.
