Why didn't that stupid sailboat get out the way??That very attentive charter cptn who managed to stop in time, before cutting them in two, thus saving their lives, has a windfall lawsuit coming to him.

Clearly it's the sail boat's fault, you can see the power boat was trolling and had their rods out.

Wonder what the blood alcohol level was
Went sailing yesterday with a buddy from Stuart.One of the conversations was how polite boaters were on the lake compared to south florida and the insane wrecks.

Re: posted without comment, I'm sure others may have a comment or two

well I'm gonna make my comment. I still cannot believe what my eyes are seeing...

so many violations of federal navigation rules...
gross negligent operation;
failure to post a lookout;
failure to operate at a safe speed;
failure to take action to avoid the risk of collision;
not following Rule 18, “Responsibilities Between Vessels,” which states that a power-driven vessel under way shall keep out of the way of a sailing vessel

I love to sail and I own both power and sailboats, this just makes no sense to me. I still can't wrap my head around such careless and irresponsible operation. Say bye-bye to you captains ticket you fool!

Baseless allegations. This was an obvious insurance scam. You've seen the Chinese people jumping in front of cars and acting like they're hurt. Apparently, that is what this sailboat did. Scammers!

When I had my little Morgan on Lake Lanier I made a point NOT to go on a holiday weekend.Lots of idiots with more money than brains or any clue about navigation or what "NO WAKE"means.
Nothing like a 90mph racing boat bearing down on your 5kt sailboat to pucker you up!

Re: posted without comment, I'm sure others may have a comment or two

there are some on this very forum who have been injured or almost injured by a reckless boat captain ignoring a DIVER DOWN flag. That's just a small float with a small flag. Easy enough to spot if you are doing things right. But how do you miss a 30ft boat with a 35 foot mast with full sails on a clear sunlit day, no rain, no fog, at almost high noon.

I think we should have a deck cannon permit for times like this. Make is like the stand your ground law where no prosecution can be had when you shoot your cannon at a foolish captain intent on running you down!

Rodney Dangerfield was a safety minded captain.
