Thu Aug 14, 14 3:58 pm Wave ridding etiquette right of way |
|
|
Just triple checking making sure I'm doing stuff right out there...
Question 1: When we're riding out on the river normal right of way applies -right hand forward has right of way (aka starboard tack). However, if you catch a wave out there by the Hatch, Rufus, White Salmon, etc then the wave rider no matter which direction he is going has right of way? Is that 100% right?
Question 2: If 2 people catch the same wave going directly at eachother, does the starboard waverider have the right of way?
Question 3: Finally, if you're David Hasselhoff do you just get right of way all the time?
Thanks

you're confused because you think there is such thing as right of way. Sorry but no;
there is stand on vessel and give way vessel
starboard vessel MUST maintain direction and speed so that
the other vessel can get out of the way.
and of course, when the other person does not know this, you do whatever you have to so there is no "accidental" contact.

1. Yes. If someone has their wave ride on, let em have their way with it. You would want the same.
2. Sounds like a river thang...I dunno, first one in?
3. The Chuck Norris way is always right.

The craziest person always has the right of way. You can usually see it in their eyes.

Question about Question #3.
Are you talking Knight Rider Hasselhoff, Bay Watch Hasselhoff, or get really drunk and Youtube it Hasselhoff?
because different rules apply here.
