DRIFTER_016 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Looks like your typical sailboater. I like the ones that run on sail in Toronto's inner harbour where they're supposed to be under power. Or the ones in Port Credit that set up their race course right off the river mouth in August!!! We used to run my buddies 36 foot Hateras out into the middle of their course and drift when they did that. Could'nt understand why they got so ticked off.

Live2fish85 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 That's a awesome video and that is some amazing work done by the operator. Your blog is awesome I was just reading the artical on the Atlantic caught in Torch Lake. That's a beautiful Salmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuzza Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Ah - Cowes Week. I used to live in Portsmouth overlooking the Solent and the Isle of Wight and goons like that were always cutting up ferries and freighters, I'm amazed there aren't more incidents. Why they have to hold racing in the busiest shipping lane in the world I have no idea - all they have to do is go round to other side of the island and it's open sea! I believe the yacht skipper is being prosecuted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks Live2Fish, I really do appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoy it. Cuzza - prosecuted? He should be given a lobotomy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'm not sure if the sailor even saw the freighter. If you look closely, the sail is up and the captain is on the oposite side. Either way, good thing he got across the bow of the freighter. If he had been t-boned, he be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybo Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 But I had the right of way.I was under sail. :rofl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuzza Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Cuzza - prosecuted? He should be given a lobotomy! Might be a bit late for that, Craig! I'm not sure if the sailor even saw the freighter. If you look closely, the sail is up and the captain is on the oposite side. You mean the bright orange, 100m+ long freighter that was sounding it's horn at him? More detail here - the comments are quite interesting (especially the ones about the exclusion zones)... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/9182128.Oil_tanker_drama_at_Cowes_Week/?ref=mr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
