Failure to really know and UNDERSTAND the colregs is why boats hit
boats. Congratulations on your license, but you may still have some
larnin' to do, son. Colregs depend on everyone knowing and doing what is
expected, but allows for those who don't. A stand on vessel that gives
way is screwing up the system. Being unpredictable is not what a
licensed captain ever wants to be. Many on this list have had licenses
at levels from 6-pack up to 100 ton Masters for years and decades. :-)

This is why boats hit boats. Sorry I mentioned it. Me personally, with
license sitting in the desk at home, I would give way to a vessel with
gear down and dragging a net.

See also Rule 2, and Rule 13. There is no such thing as "right of
way" except for one specific instance in the inland rules. The
fishing vessel was in the wrong in this case as described. :-)

Vessel engaged in Fishing is restricted in her ability to move and

We were powered up on a broad reach with a chute heading eastward
down LIS doing about 9 knots with just Lady Di and I. Clear
September weekday so empty waters. And a rare morning sail with
great wind from the right direction.
Fishing dragger with stabilizers down is slowing bearing down on us
from astern. 30 minutes later and he would have run right up our
transom if I did not alter course and risk a roundup in the process
Prick was on bridge. Wouldnt answer radio.
Some of those commercial guys just have a bad attitude towards us
"yachties"
Either it's black or white with them...competent or maliciously
incompetent.
