rules of the sea.....rules of right of way....

any powered craft MUST give way to sailing baots/yachts! tho does seem a tad harsh that a tankr that size clearly cant slow down or alter course setting "that" quickly! The law will say its the tanker skippers fault, but common sense says its the yacht skippers fault!
