Having the right of way isn't enough

If you have the right of way, you are still obligated to avoid collisions. Assuming there are no special circumstances (e.g. the sailboat was limited by a narrow channel etc), the windsurfer on starboard tack had the "right of way" i.e. he could stay on his intended course and it was the duty of the sailboat to give way. But, every vessel is required to take whatever action necessary to avoid a collision.

Re: Having the right of way isn't enough

Wonder which one costs more to repair? Could probably replace the WS cheap as well.

As I always say - better to a alive than in the right.

What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.

Some of Alton's ingredients

1 sheep stomach
1 sheep liver
1 sheep heart
1 sheep tongue
1/2 pound suet, minced

No lungs and stomach instead of intestine.Yay, organ meats!

Quote:
Suet is the raw, hard fat of beef or mutton found around the loins and kidneys..

Double yum!

BTW - what board was that guy sailing? Maybe a formula board that had the rails butchered some to make it a foil board? Seems to rectangular for a formula board.

Modern formula boards are very rectangular. The nose is still a bit rounded but long almost parallel rails. But after a bunch of OCD digging around, the deck pad pattern seems to match the IQFoil
