IT’S BEAUTIFUL… IT’S PRIVATE… IT’S HOME. Recently Dredged! Making boating easier – and more fun! – is what Oyster Cove is all about. That's why we rate number one with many Bay Area boaters. Oyster Cove is an exclusive yet reasonable facility of 219 berths, accommodating pleasurecraft in slips up to 60-ft long. Oyster Cove is the private Peninsula marina closest to Blue Water boating. No other private Peninsula marina is better situated or offers nicer, fresher surroundings. • Berths 30 feet to 60 feet • Double Finger Concrete Slips • Five Minutes from SFO • Heated Dressing Rooms & Showers Page 30 • Latitude 38 • July, 2010 • Laundry Room • Nightly Security Patrol • Complimentary Ice • End Ties Available at $5.95/Ft! 385 OYSTER POINT BOULEVARD #8A SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO ( 650 ) 952 - 5540 www.oystercovemarina.net AP PHOTO / ROB GRIFFITH LETTERS toward the North Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge and Crissy, you must have been on starboard. But that would have meant you at the helm and all your crew on the high side would have had almost total vision forward to starboard. How can you say your starboard vision forward was blocked when all your sails would have been on the port side? But whatever, because it doesn't matter what tack you're on, you're required to be able to see in all directions. If that means you need to put somebody on the bow, you have to do that. If that means you've got to get one of your crew to the low side, you've got to do that. There is absolutely no relying on other boats to see and avoid you. Having said that, if you really were on port and just missed a collision with a motorsailing boat on starboard, it was his fault, not yours. As you surely know, all boats under power, even if they also have sail up, must give the right-of-way to boats under sail only. It doesn't matter who is on port and who is on starboard, and whether a boat is luxurious or about to sink. We're also confused about this business about the captain's responsibility to keep his crew, passengers and boat safe superseding the rules of the road. Everyone's following the rules of the road is precisely what keeps everyone safe. ⇑⇓GET THAT WRIST READY TO BE SLAPPED Are you aware that results of the enquiry into the collision between Jessica Watson's Ella's Pink Lady, prior to the start of her solo circumnavigation, and the Chinese bulk carrier Silver Yang, has been released by the Australian government? It was summarized as follows: The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) investigation found that when the two vessels collided, neither the yacht's skipper nor the ship's watchkeepers were keeping a proper lookout, nor were they appropriately using navigational aids to manage the risk of collision. The investigation also found that following the collision, the ship's watchkeeper did not offer to assist the yacht's skipper. This is a prob- Jessica Watson was in violalem that has also been highlighted tion of the international rules by previous ATSB investigations. during her solo circumnavi- ATSB Chief Commissioner Martin gation. But then so is every- Dolan said there are signifi cant body who both singlehands lessons to be learnt from this inci- and sleeps. dent: "This is a timely reminder that, under United Nations' con- ventions, ship operators have an obligation to offer assistance immediately to other vessels following a collision," Mr. Dolan said. As a result of the ATSB investigation, the following key safety actions were taken: • Ella's Pink Lady's radar visibility was enhanced before departing from Sydney. • The international requirement to render assistance following a collision has been highlighted. • Attention has been drawn to the possible limits in the detectability of Class B AIS transmissions. • Silver Yang's operators intend to undertake further training of deck offi cers. We found the full report (available at www.atsb.gov.au/pub- lications/investigation_reports/2009/mair/268-mo-2009-008. aspx) aspx to be intensely interesting, and recommend it to all
