Actually, power doesn't always give way to sail. In crossing situations they do. That's actually the only clear cut case. If a sailboat is overtaking a powerboat, it's actually the powerboat that has the right of way and the sailboat that has to maneuver to get around if they wish to pass.

Rules of the road: " Rule 12 - Sailing vessels Power driven vessels must avoid and/or give way to all sailing vessels when under sail. Ships, tugboats with tows, commercial ferries and fishing vessels have right of way over sailing vessels. Yachts should stay well clear of these vessels. A sailing vessel using its motor is considered to be power vessel even though sails (motor sailing) may be hoisted. In this situation the sailing vessel with sails hoisted and using motor should hoist a cone forward of the mast to show that she is "motor sailing".

A former naval officer whose yacht collided with an oil tanker in the Solent during Cowes Week has been found guilty of contravening maritime regulations. Lt Roland Wilson, from Stanley, Perthshire was fined and ordered to pay more than £100,000 in costs following a trial at Southampton Magistrates Court. The dramatic collision in 2011 was captured on film. The 32-year-old was convicted of impeding the passage of a vessel and failing to keep a proper lookout.

+SportSoulLife As Martin said, that stretch of water apparently has different regulations. According to international maritime regulations, boat on the starboard must give way, but it also comes down to maneuverability. Plus the yachts were racing, regularly changing directions, a supertanker has limited maneuverability, can't make quick direction or speed changes. Anyone with half a brain would give right of way to a supertanker! He was probably thinking he could beat the tanker, but like a train, too easy to misjudge it's speed, and in a collision, you are going to lose!Bottom line, the yacht had the ability to change direction in such close quarters, the supertanker did not. The supertanker was being guided, so he can't be faulted for going thru waters where a race was being held.They should have never allowed the tanker to enter those waters until the race was finished.The yacht should have given way.
@SportSoulLife
9 жыл бұрын
ExtremelyOCD Yes, you're right, anyone would give way to a tanker, that's common sense. But closing the water for the races is unrealistic, it would cost the companies up to millions to do so, and the docs for tankers are very precise with timing, some can fine you up to 10.000$ for every minute you leave port late, and a tanker uses atleast a liter of fuel a second, so stopping all the traffic would be out of question. Also oil is a very dangerous cargo, you don't want to have that sitting around that close to land. Realistically the race should have been hosted on other waters, just moving the top mark away from the fairway would have prevented this on the yachts part.

That "little misjudgment" has just cost the skipper of that yacht over £100,000. £3,000 in fines and £100,000 in costs. The moral of the story is "Don't get in the way of ships, you are going to loose (everything)"

if you can afford a yacht, you should be able to afford repairs unless, like most people do, you get it on a loan or mortgage instead of buying what they're actually capable of affording themselves.

The racing yacht was luffing up to get to windward of the tanker and avoid being in the wind shadow of the ship. Bad sail trimming meant that she lost way and was dead in the water under the tankers bows. No excuse - yacht at fault - do a 360 or 720 according to the race rules. ;o) Why did they put up £100k defence in court?

WAFI needs to read the ABP port of Southampton guidelines for yachts. In that position the ship has a 1000mtr movement prohibited zone in front of it. Yacht should have never entered it plus he wasnt using one of the 4 recommended shipping lane crossing zones.

Typical WAFI. As a son of a Captain of a VLCC, never pick a fight with anything with restricted draught, restricted manoeuvrability or cross under the sight line of something this big or with a vessel even doing slow speeds with no room to avoid idiots. If this guy was ex Navy, he really shouldn't be allowed to sail. Life threatening incident avoided fortunately. Master of the tanker would be cleared in this incident thankfully.

Peter Griffin ... Wrong, wrong, wrong. In a restricted channel, the ship absolutely has right-of-way. In those areas, a ship CAN'T turn, CAN'T stop, and CAN'T slow down as it needs to maintain a minimum speed in order to maneuver. Most of the time, sailboats have the right-of-way, but not here.
@CrimFerret

Yeah. There are actually a number of situations a boat under sail doesn't have the right of way over a powered vessel (even ones of similar size.) They don't when the other vessel is limited in maneuverability by draft as in this totally obvious case.

Commercial traffic like that tanker, in a shipping lane, on his way to the port, has right of way. It is the job of the other boats to stay out of its way, because A, the tanker has right of way. B, it can do shit even if they wanted. A ship of that size and a guess at that speed, even with the tugboat, would take several kilometers to stop. Even if they dropped their anchor it would not do much. Most likely just drag it along the bottom and if it got a hold on something, the chain would break.

Yes this is true, but a working ship is defined by COLREGs as a "vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre". This means a vessel which from the nature of her work is restricted in her ability to manoeuvre. A tanker IS NOT A THAT!!! A vessel engaged in laying or picking up a submarine cable or pipeline for instance is! What if the skipper of the yacht was a profesional sailor... And he got paid for winning... Then i guess his vessel is a working vessel as well? But it doesnt even matter. The area where this incident happend is a special precautionary area so yacht was at fault.

The capt. said during the trial he thought that the tanker was signaling that he was turning to starboard by sounding his horn. The yacht capt. maintained his course, which led to the crash. The jury felt he was negligent and he was fined over $100k euros. Even if the tanker was turning to starboard there was no way the tanker could turn in time and avoid the sailboat.

I was taught when learning to sail that "Power giveth way to Sail, unless Power is many times bigger." You cannot expect a large commercial, passenger or military vessel to "Give Way" to a much smaller sailing vessel or powered boat. The Captain of that yacht should have taken avoiding action by changing tack to cross astern of the Tanker and its attending Tug. The Captain of the yacht should be charged with Conduct Endangering his Vessel and Passengers and Failure to Yield in a Declared Navigation Channel. The Organisers of the Race should also have to answer for their misconduct in placing a Official Race in a Navigation Channel, without permission of the relevant authority. People at fault will try to brush this off as "just a silly accident, no harm done," to which your reply should be "try telling that to the widows and families, and then to the media, and the Coroner, and the Court. "Oh it wont come to that." "Oh Really, if that yacht had been sunk and people on board had drowned, there would be hard questions asked and numerous lawyers involved". That yachtie got off lightly, it could have quite easily ended up very badly.

Years ago was sailing In Sydney Harbour in a 60ft steel hulled ketch. The 18fters were zipping back and forth, and of course, got to the point where they had right of way over the ketch. One of the boy racers screams out "Starboard" - effectively demanding his right of way. The skipper on our boat, yells back "Steel - 70 tons of it - not as agile - your call". The 18fts kept their distance after that.

Yacht captain was very high up ex navy (commodore?) and was heavily fined for this. A large ship in a narrow and shallow shipping lane always has right of way over a highly manoeuvrable sailing vessel, even on a starboard tack.
