Left Shift 2,391 #27 Posted August 17, 2018 Had that exact thing happen to me and a friend on his Ensign on Long Island Sound years ago. We were heading to a race off of Manhasset on a Saturday. Guy on his 30'+ sport fisherman was on autopilot cleaning his fish when he came through our boom at probably 10 knots. Rig stayed up and we got towed in bruised and battered. Not sunk, but the boat was totalled. We were on also port. Didn't seem to matter to the cops or the insurance company. He offered us a fish. To make it all better.

Bsquared 24 #30 Posted August 17, 2018 I don't think the definition of "fishing" in the rules includes a recreational boat (or even a charter boat) pulling trolling lines; you have to be pulling substantial gear that restricts your ability to maneuver.

COLREGS 3(d): "The term “vessel engaged in fishing” means any vessel fishing with nets, lines, trawls or other fishing apparatus which restrict manoeuvrability, but does not include a vessel fishing with trolling lines or other fishing apparatus which do not restrict manoeuvrability." 28 minutes ago, Moonduster said: If the yacht was motor sailing, the fishing boat had right-of-way, no? No. COLREGS don't give anyone "right of way." If the J105 was motorsailing (doubtful that she was if the jib was up, I think) then she would have been "give-way" vessel obligated to maneuver to avoid collision. Powerboat would have been "stand-on" vessel, obligated to maintain course and speed unless/until it became apparent that the give-way vessel was not taking sufficient action to avoid collision. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry!) 1) They were reportedly heading back from fishing, not engaging in fishing. Speed was estimated 25 knots. 2) Rules of the road exclude trolling fishing lines from "fishing vessels". Only if they're dragging nets or trawls, or handling a longline...which limits their ability to maneuver. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well on port tack the starboard rail would have lower making it easier for the fishing boat to launch it self up and onto the j. Port tack. The skipper would have been likely on the windward rail with presumably much of the crew. So it’s possible they may not have seen the power boat barreling down on them.

Ajax 1,663 #86 Posted August 18, 2018 I look at these photos and I've read the news articles (which are short on detail.) I'm trying very hard to play devil's advocate and see if there's a way that this could somehow be the sailboat's fault and I just can't find a way. The only way that powerboat could climb up onto the J/105 is with speed and momentum. The J/105 is also obligated to maneuver to avoid a collision no matter who is the stand-on vessel but was that even possible in the light breeze and given the fishing boat's high rate of speed? It doesn't seem likely. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A story I read (I think I linked to it up thread) the sailboat operator said they tried to alert the powerboat and attempted to avoid when it was apparent the powerboat was not going to give way. Sailboat = 6 knots, powerboat 25 knots. That's why the sailboat is the 'stand on' vessel. I suspect the powerboat driver was fucking with the chart plotter or texting, and no-one aboard was watching where they were going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
