Double Moron? :D (Sorry, could not resist.)
Both parties are responsible for avoiding a collision. When the first radio call went un-answered, I would have turned my sailboat 90 degrees off...
Aye Capt. J. Fairly easy to get out of the way on a sailboat if some mega yacht are coming up your arse at 20 knots. (If you have to: let go the...
Probably a Drama-Queen, but I would have been pissed as well, although I would have steered away much earlier instead of waiting to the last...
Yup, I spent years as a Look-Out and helmsman on big ships and heard the horror stories of coming in to port and seeing white or blue paint on the...
I was hoping (or guessing) the Captain of the yacht would be on this board to tell his side of the story. Not that it would make a huge difference...
Aye mate, I am always trying to stay out of trouble whether I operate a rag boat or a stink-potter. (Dual qualified :) )
Nah, you are on the wrong tack:) I posted to get the other side of the story. The sailboater should have taken evasive action long before it got...
Copied from anothe board. This sailboater not happy.. . Saturday we were going to Chub from Nassau and were almost run over by a megayacht...
Ouch, you are a better man than me.. I quit sailing for a living because I missed my girl friends too much. I can't imagine having a new baby and...

Nah, this place is clean as a whistle, lots of trigger-happy Mods sitting around waiting for an unsuspecting spammer to drop a turd. :D
Aye Mr. Olderboater, never said the spam or the porn happened on this forum, as in Yachtforums. I was talking about the Glacier Bay forum, totally...
Spam was Korean? Looks like Russian to me, but I could be wrong: поздравления сыну в армию песня крокодила гены день рождения поздравления...
Started a Fartbook Group for Glacier Bay Owners and fans as our forum (admin edit: the Glacier Bay forum, unrelated to YF) is severely infected...
Not sure about a mid 80's 46 but I switched insurance carriers last week: Had Boat US for my GB 2770 @ $3,138.00 per year, $155K agreed value and...
Good info, thx.
Ok cool, my new toy is below 13 m, should be ok. Got new insurance quote today, $2,037 versus $3,130 from Boat US. Whopping 2/3 rd. The cheaper...
Ouch, Garbage Plan...? If I knew anything about it, all forgotten now. What, where and how? Is it required? Home Made Plan, or Official Guidelines...
