Certainly not good seamanship. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 242 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I happened to be going down the harbour yesterday on a Riv***a (at 7 knots) when the harbourmaster pulled up T2 the powercat -I imagine they heard me cheering as that prick has caused a breaking wave to break into my yachts cockpit off Queens wharf in the past -and still he continues with no regards for others. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twisty 148 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I had an incident a few weeks ago where a large red launch (called Red Express) would have run me down if I hadn't taken evasive action. I contacted the harbourmaster with the name of the boat, time of day and location. I got a notification it was received. Nothing since. Nobody was hurt: not interested.

I contacted the harbourmaster with the name of the boat, time of day and location. I got a notification it was received. Nothing since. Nobody was hurt: not interested. I sent the video to HM and got a reply this morning saying that I was clearly the stand-on vessel and that they’d try to contact the owner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
