Why did Clipper Adventurer cross sailing yacht's bow on Thursday 6 September, off Bass Rock?
Clipper Adventurer was idling, stopped or nearly so, close to Bass Rock, no doubt letting passengers view. Our yacht came round the Rock, aiming to pass well ahead. Suddenly and for no apparent reason, Clipper put her engines ahead and aimed across our bow. Very doubtful at best that she would have crossed safely ahead of us: we had to alter course to pass round her stern. As sailing vessel we shouldn't have had to. Were you aboard? How did manoeuvre look to you?
Essentially, yes, a powered vessel must give way to a sailing vessel.
However, there are a few exclusions.
1. If the powered vessel is large and underway in a narrow channel (unlikely considering this was off Bass Rock - near North Berwick), then the sailing vessel must give way.
2. To avoid a collision any vessel upon decding that a collision might otherwise occur, must take decisive action of a clear nature in order that their actions make clear their intentions.
Clipper Adventurer is a fairly small ship and it is unlikely that you would have been so close that she was unable to see you on account of the bridge view either to port, starboard or ahead.
If anything like this occurs again - call the ship in question on Channel 16 (but you *must* know how to use Channel 16 - see below). By using Channel 16 local Coastguard will hear the call and be able to act as backup.
If you want, you could see if the event was recorded by the Forth Navigation Service. Here's what they have:-
Navigation on the Forth
The River and Firth of Forth from one mile west of the Isle of May upriver to Stirling
falls under the jurisdiction of Forth Ports plc, the Statutory Harbour Authority who
operate the Forth Navigation Service from the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) Centre at
Leith Docks. The VTS Centre is equipped with radar, VHF radio, telex, facsimile,
telephones, radar video recorders, VHF radio audio recorders and local weather and
tidal instrumentation. The VHF radio call sign is “FORTH NAVIGATION SERVICE”
and continuous watch is kept on channel 71, with channels 20 and 12 as primary and
secondary working channels respectively.
The aim of the VTS is to enhance punctuality and transit safety by providing vessels
with advance information on the movement of other vessels and also other data,
including weather reports that affect the safety of traffic within the area. At all times,
the Duty Officer at Forth Navigation Service has the statutory final decision with regard
to such regulation and movement of vessels, as he may deem necessary.
Movement within the Forth Ports area of jurisdiction is regulated by Forth Ports bylaws.
In addition, a large portion of the central section of the Forth constitutes part of the
Naval Dockyard Port of Rosyth, the limits of which are clearly marked on Admiralty
charts. Within these limits it is important to remember that the Dockyard Port of Rosyth
Orders apply.

As they have radar records - they may have the event recorded.

Linkbait! Remember the story about the boy and the wolf…
Intriguing article. I disagree completely. BMW should not copy Ford in order to cover all price points. Ralph Lauren should stay out of track suits (sweatsuits, chandal para los castellanoparlantes…). Apple is Apple because they are not everything for everybody. Apple is loaded. Steve doesn't need a yacht. (Larry is busy going mainstream and sailing yachts).
I love what Apple (more that Steve, I hope) do and believe that they are likely to provide at least one more revolution before Steve is done with his tenure as uber-tech-guru-design-master.

A growing and now pervasive UNWILLINGNESS exists worldwide to do what is necessary to save life as we know it and the integrity of Earth's body.
Everywhere we look people in the very best positions to do meaningful things to save the planet we inhabit are lost to this cause, it appears.
This week, Forbes Magazine indicates in its current list of the 400 Richest People that, for the first time, all the billionaires will not fit on the list of 400. Apparently 82 billionaires had to be left off the list. At least to me, it looks as if too many of our “brothers-with billions” are so singlemindedly focused on the accumulation of wealth and power, in feathering their own gigantic nests, frequenting exclusive clubs, flying private jets, sailing yachts and visiting exotic hideaways, that they have forgotten how human life depends upon Earth's limited resources and frangible ecosystem services for its very existence.
These “powers that be” have evidently also forgotten what words mean when we say that the Earth is not flat and endless but round, finite and relatively small. One consequence of their widely shared and consensually validated denial of the requirements of practical reality is that the scale and rate of conspicuous per capita consumption is dissipating natural resources much faster than the Earth can restore them for human benefit. So over-the-top is per human resource consumption by a small minority of people in our time that biodiversity is being massively extirpated, the environment irreversibly degraded and humanity potentially endangered.
Is the fulfillment of the insatiable wishes of unrestrained consumers unexpectedly and perversely tangled up with unbridled big business interests relentlessly pursuing a course of endless economic expansion? Are we fecklessly consuming the very resources needed for our survival? Is humankind being taken for a ride along a primrose path the ends up with our species inadvertently eating itself out of house and home?
