aerodog2 need’s to brush up on his COLREGS. Sail does not have right-of-way over power. The ferry is restricted in it’s ability to maneuver much like an oil tanker, or cargo ship is. Do your homework!
Geoff, the State Ferries may hoist whatever pennant they care to, it does not justify running down that skiff in the water. Here in the USA, 1) Sail has right of way over power, 2) You turn your wheel a bit to avoid killing people, 3) You stop to render assistance if you DO cause a calamity. That ferry Captain has no business in the wheelhouse. I can see now why the State took all your guns away – it’s the only way they could run down the peasants for sport without fear of retribution!
You have to remember the old saying about sailing “when the wind drops,the fun stops”.I’ve sailed Sydney Harbour & Geoff Waller is dead right…ferries even have right of way over God!
IF the skiff was really damaged and stationary, I do not think the ferry has the right to run it down. I believe damaged vessels, out of control, always have the right of way.
the 18 foot skiff had also been stationary for a while because they were repairing it. but, as you say, the ferry has right of way, it doesn’t have the right to be a dick though, he could have gone around.
Thank you.
Хороший фильм.
dat skiff
depends,18ft with a trapeze and then its b14 without a trapeze
Yes and we all, really should know why beach volleyball is such a big deal too ha, ha.
That is an eighteen foot skiff, the fastest monohulled dinghy in the world
uuuhh PUMA
Haha shame to Alinghi!!
Love sailing in the rough! Can’t beat it. Especially with a good swell!!
Are you trolling, Sir? I’m just avoiding the tabletennis and womens basketball matter (though I must say I lol’d) and agree with you sailing is very badass.
just because something is in the olympics doesnt mean its a sport… i mean look at ping pong and womens basketball. neither are sports. but sailing is badass
I love how the motorboat is struggling to keep up 😀
Huh? I never knew there were people questioning that. Darts? Chess? Ok. But sailing?
It’s even an olympic sport?
1:40 to 3:20 – does anyone happen to know what kind of boat that is?

2:10 to 3:10 omg i was on the edge of my seat! so much skill displayed in that minute of footage
the guy who taught me to sail (over 30 years ago) told me there are only two types of sailors; those who have capsized and those who will.
I did 20 knots at cowes week… I was in a sb3 and we just went for it…. it was crazy
jesus, that first boat is my dad
Anyone else leaning their head while they were leaning too?
