In Response To: Re: Cocky sail boaters (NPenney)

Around here, a lakes freighter has absolute right of way over recreational vessels when in such areas as the Welland Canal entrance, where a 730' x 75' ship simply cannot get out of the way of a 35' sailboat without running aground. This doesn't apply on the lake, where normal rules apply. Most small-boat powerboaters and some sailers around here wouldn't recognize a rule of navigation if it snuck up and bit them in the ass, however. We all pretty well know enough to keep well out of the way of the big jobs, and even on a busy day, there always seems to be enough room for us small boaters to avoid collisions. Even if you can remember who has the right of way, it's no use if the other guy doesn't know the rules.
