... when a vessel that size is telling you the situation is dangerous, you should probably pay attention. Here's a hint, skippy: if it outweighs you by that many orders of magnitude, NOBODY cares how much you paid for your hardtop... you can still get cut in half and it'll be your fault.
It wasn't a move of arrogance. He clearly just had too much port reverse, and didn't see the bow of the Courage swinging over (you can see the Courage engage his thruster to try and bring it back). No need to hate on the dude lol.
@@Bread996 not seeing the bow that can sink you right there is a really bald move and irresponsable manouvering... just wait a few seconds and you'll have clear space to turn.
Captain is responsible for both ends of his/her vessel - all at the same time. If Courage had needed to put her bow to port - which is likely at that bend in the river - (memorial shoreway/collision bend) the intake on her thrusters could very well have drug the boat into her side - even if the SeaRay powered away from the intake - where would he go? He'd accelerate right into the dock.
Could've been on the cellphone cause late for reservations at the restaurant. You know 1 little delay and then everything f'ing thing is in the way. And now this tub backing out in MY way. L O L
We estimated 10 seconds (had the Sea Ray captain continued to idle upriver he would have easily cleared the AC's bow and had the entire river width to play with),
I don’t care if that captain messed up or didn’t. If I seen that freighter coming in through a narrow river like that I would move away from it. You never know when the bow or stern thrusters are going to kick in. You never know when something can go wrong. She’s too huge to mess with. I definitely know enough to respect something that huge . I’m always amazed on how the captains of those huge freighters can maneuver them through narrow spaces like that. I’m glad no one got hurt.
Beautiful sailboat. I was on the river earlier in the day and you should really be ahead of the game with the big boats and their bow thrusters. You can see he got into their's.
you are right. Exhibitionists are always in the way of others, causing trouble, to draw attention to their own egocentric and weak personalities. be careful you.

Regardless the size of a vessel - from a rowboat to a large merchant ship, if you do not follow the Colregs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, aka 'rules of the road'), you will be held accountable for your actions and results thereof, before the courts. A case in point that all small craft, including sailboats, should always keep in mind, is Rule 9 - Narrow Channels, in particular sections 'a' and 'b' - "a vessel < 20 metres in length shall not impede the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway". Also Rule 18 - Responsibilities between Vessels; in sections 'a', 'b' & 'c', it is stated "a vessel underway shall keep out of the way of a vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre". Clearly, the large pleasure craft just off the port side of the "American Courage" was in contravention of said rules. He should have been charged and fined by the USCG.
What the Keyboard Kaptains are whining about is that the SeaRay (white powerboat) got close to the freighter while performing a 180 degree turn. The SeaRay presented NO DANGER to the freighter but the freighter captain blew the danger signal (5 short blasts) to remind the operator of the SeaRay to stay clear. It wasn't a big deal.🙄
22 year boater, I don't see what the infraction of the Sea Ray was. He was abeam of the freighter, and executed a turn while still abeam of the freighter. Maybe during the turn he came closer to the freighter than he was while parallel, but should have posed no greater threat of collision while turning than he did while going forward. Like another commentor stated, it is not obvious that the horn blasts were directed at the Sea Ray.
Take a look where the freighter was headed. Their next move is a significant turn that will swing the trailing end of the ship towards the power boat. By turning around where he did, the captain of the powerboat removed any ability to maneuver out of the way, and removed the space needed for the freighter to turn. The powerboat skipper should have waited until they were clear of the freighter to reverse.
Nothing to see here. The operator of the ship was acting in accordance with Colreg rule 34. An international set of rules that almost every maritme law court on planet earth operates by. No malice, no attitude, no admonishing. How do you know it had anything to do with the boat that was docking? If I was piloting that ship I would mostly be looking astern to see what I was going to hit back there because it appears to be operating under astern propulsion. The main rule is one from physics, I'm bigger and I will win any bumping competition.
What was the idiot in the sail boat doing? Kept squeezing the other guy. It’s like watching someone drive around looking for a parking spot in the Mall.
In landlubber terms, he's parallel parking behind the other sailboat, and doing a perfect job of it. The sailboat did absolutely nothing wrong. The sailboat is in near perfect condition and has a very competent crew. The powerboat was a moron for coming that close to the ship.
The big metal ship has "bow thrusters" that helps it to turn. They will make a fast stream pushing the little boat into the dock where the people are eating... The little boat could not wait about 10-30 seconds or keep going up river for 10 or so seconds then they would have had the full with of the river to turn around in...... Just a rich boat owner being stupid and showing no care for the saftey of his boat or the people along the river side...0:56 under the lady's arm in the white shirt you can see the metal ship started to use the bow thrusters to push the bow more to the center of the river and the water jet coming to the bank side...
I don't see what the big deal is. The operator of the white boat performed a flawless manoeuvre and is clearly skilled. It ain't like he risked damaging the ship.
That's like saying stopping in the middle of a busy intersection at peak hour, and dropping a drift burnout is skilled, you complete and utter moron. That skipper put himself, both sailboats and even the people on the boardwalk in danger. If not from his dumbass maneuvering causing a collision, than from the combined prop and thruster wash. All he had to do was wait. It's extremely lucky that all that happened is that his idiocy was recorded and posted on youtube for people to mock him, and rightly so. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near this idiot on the water.
@@rexross7086It would have been the smaller boats fault, and I’m sure it’s skipper was aware of that! It may have been a foolish maneuver he could have waited a bit to do the 180 turn, but had they collided the smaller ship would have sustained any and all damage the freighter wouldn’t even have felt it , look at all the docking damage on her sides! Can’t understand why everyone’s so upset!
Inland rules: 5 blasts is noted in the ships record and the name of the vessel involved.

It would have been so easy for the boat turning 180° to wait just another 60 seconds for the ship to be out of the way. What was the hurry?
