Guys that do boatstuff for a living tehd to think that safety, or more importantly survival, ain't a laughing matter! I think these links are very good.and maybe it should go into our refernece section.

Also for those of you interested the RNLI give away a free 'sea safety' bojlet with a lot more infor on a CD rom. We put copies into our soodents welcome packs and encourage them strongly to adopt the safety culture promoted by these publications.

Would you like me to send you a copy, Codders?

Already have it thanks!!!

Whilst I was joking with my comments I do think that in many cases what I said is true. As we have fast nimble craft not restricted by draft then - in most cases - we CAN just nip out of the way - it's very different for a yachtie or someone in a a slow displacement craft.

It helps if you know which way to 'nip' though...

Dave's rules of survival
1) nobody else knows the rules
2) might is right even when he is wrong
3) the survivors of any collision are invariably on the bigger boat
