Bulker has right of way, ask any deckie or watch standing mate, classmate of mine ran over a sailboat with a tanker in Long Beach harbor, totally the blow boat’s fault

rag sailers suck!!!

I damn near cut one in half going to Cabo years ago.

I was runing in 24’ seas and this dickhead was running north, no sails up and no lights.

I was pitching so much that the radar missed him.

"Bulker has right of way..."

As a practical matter, yeah....sailing vessel has the right, but not the might.

Not in my Rules of the Road. Powered vessels ALWAYS yield to vessels under sail.

"In harbour". At sea it's still power gives way to sail

With the co-rider that the little guy should try to duck.

How the hell does that happen? Was it at night and the guy was sleeping in his sailboat?

Here in S.E. Michigan the freighters sail thru Lake St. Clair and the Detroit river and you can see those monsters coming from miles away........
