Need help with a rogue 108' Sunseeker

Regardless of whether he just graduated from the school or was a replacement, he should have known better.

That was funny. Subtle and very funny.

I think what you're dealing with here is the difference between someone accidentally backing into your car and a professional chauffeur crashing into you because he was doing 75 mph through the parking lot. DK if it would be a criminal offense, but I'd sure cause some misery in his life beyond just the price of the damage. IMHO an apology would have made a world of difference here.

I think the owner should pay ,having been a victim but I'm not sure the law is set-up to take account of this kind of thing.

I took my Mom for a fishing trip and picnic with an old Dolphin 18, a bit like a Boston Whaler 18, new Evinrude 115 V4 and 2 new Penn rod and reels.

A sodding great big Sportfisherman came roaring pass and the wake swamped over the transom .

While at anchor, down went the sandwiches and Mom, new engine and 2 new Penns. Not happy.

Who's to blame? The skipper was trying to get back for the weigh-in, fair enough but there must be somewhere in maritime law for 'collateral damage'?

It's the kind of thing best handled in back alleys and stockholder meetings.

Ah, but yeah but no, the skipper is a friend of mine and came and saved the boat.

Ed, you are not going to take your nextdoor man to court, are you???????

My nextdoor man? No, I'd probably take him to the alley first. Don't think court would be needed after that.

You old coyote, I knew you NY guys were a bit tough Irishmen but it doesn't go down well in the Yacht Club.

Yeah, not big on the Y.C. scene. Never got into yellow or green pants. As a kid we'd use their boats for swamping practice and at the C.C. dances take their girls.
