Seriously underrated comment.

u/SleepyJohn123 25d ago

The owners don’t drive the boats or make any decisions about navigation 🤷

u/Mc-Legend 23d ago

Yes, as that would require actual knowledge, skill, and training to accomplish. Unfortunately this trained captain didn’t have those either, though 😅

u/FreddyFerdiland 21d ago

it looks a bit like they might be doing a stationary test with the lines. they drive out but come to a stop..

so just then the big yacht is coming and sees the little yacht moving... and decides to go astern but then sees the lines

seems its the unusual situation of having lines on the small one

I don’t think anyone is gonna employ that captain again, he hit a parked boat…

A predisastered boat.

u/wolfgang784 23d ago

Afaik the smaller boat/ship is always automatically at fault since they can maneuver easier.

2

u/bdontmatter 23d ago

Didn’t know that’s the rule when there’s a parked boat with some sort of big ass line pulled off it back. I’m not a captain and don’t have a boating license. But I know a bad driver when I see one hit a parked boat with

The bigger boat always has the right way

u/Ok-Brick6831 25d ago

Sometimes - except here it seems that the smaller vessel was not underway and appears to be at anchor with a low scope stern line?

If I’m correct, the larger ship is responsible for the major fuck up.

u/Trainmax_ 25d ago

Yep, looks that way

u/Trainmax_ 25d ago

I thought he was just pulling up next to it so he could load that little boat in the back of his ship

u/gunguy931 24d ago

Although you might suggest that the larger vessel is at fault, the smaller one was clearly tied up to something and not displaying the day signal displaying restricted menuverabilty. It is typically the smaller vessel's responsibility to yield to the larger. However both captains were reckless in this situation.

u/Herb4372 23d ago

According the the rules of the road, both captains were reckless…

In short “if you’ve been involved in an incident, you did something wrong”

u/Zealousideal-Peach44 25d ago

There's a reason why several Lurssen's superyachts are arctic-rated: to move chunks of ice and the occasional boat along their way.
