All good points.

Many times I miss Wally too. VBGs were common in the ol' days.

The fact that the headsail on the J/105 is
rolled out implies that he was sailing, thus he would have had right of way.
If the J/105 was motor sailing, the power boat
was on his starboard bow, and would have had right of way.
In either case Rule 2 says you need to do
everything possible, including violating the
rules, to avoid a collision. So both skippers were at fault.
And if the dufus on the power boat was drinking,
he can pretty much kiss his merchant mariner
credentials goodbye
. And good riddance.

Easy to see the sailboat is at fault eh.
Poor visibility and all white sailboat, the poor
drunk powerboat coming in fast on STBD didn't have a chance...
