Battleship 100 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 No sure I see the point, If it's about the lack of visibility from what I understand they have very little maneuverability anyway so being able to see the yachts wouldn't make any difference. Link to post Share on other sites

Battleship 100 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Pretty sure none of them can see when something is close in front, unfortunately they have to rely on people not wanting to die. Link to post Share on other sites
rigger 47 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 IT how are we supposed to embed youtube clips with the new software - have tried a bunch of different URLs - nothing works for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,313 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Fixed it Rigger. It's too Simple for some!! Just copy and paste the URL of the clip (from the top of your browser) directly into your message. If it has https, remove the "s". No need to highlight, select the shared link from youtube or anything, the software will detect it and it will just go. I can't type in a sample link, as it will be detected and turned into a vid link!!! I thought in your version, the ship had better visibility than in the first case...

Black Panther 1,776 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Rigger - that must have been a big ship, it made the other ships on the opposite wall look small. Makes you wonder why we don't see more with the bridge at the front. No not like the picture, but with the lookout and steering up the front. Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,313 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 That's a great Pic BP! Bridge fwd, and he still feels like he needs another! Link to post Share on other sites
BNG 54 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Surely on a ship that size there is at least one camera on the bow? Most cars now have reversing cameras... Link to post Share on other sites
SthnJeff 18 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 While the visibility is poor, it is not as poor as the decision making of the two or three yachts that crossed more or less under his bow. Even if the Bridge was well forward, he of course has very little chance of slowing down or altering course to avoid a collision in such a confined space. Just stay well clear of the bugger!
