The following web site <br /><br />http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/pdf/navRules/COMDTINST%20M16672.2D_NavRules(Corrected).pdf<br /><br />Shows-<br /><br />"The term “vessel engaged in fishing” means any vessel fishing with<br />nets, lines, trawls or other fishing apparatus which restrict maneuverability,<br />but does not include a vessel fishing with trolling lines or other fishing<br />apparatus which do not restrict maneuverability."<br /><br />So trolling does not seem to count but the vessel does not have to be commercial. I still think it is bad form to cut off a trolling fisherman but the law seems to agree with you.<br /><br /><br />Rule 30 will show the issue with regard to anchor lights.<br /><br />GhostAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230081621541501390.post-59718500023603328022011-02-28T18:31:39.813-05:002011-02-28T18:31:39.813-05:00I hate to have to disagree with you twice but my u...I hate to have to disagree with you twice but my understanding has always been right of way must be given to any vessel actively (trolling lines out would qualify) engaged in fishing not just commercial. These vessels have a more restricted ability to maneuver than a sailboat which gives them priority. If you need the citation, I will find it for you.<br /><br />Also, with regard to your post on Bright Eyes, your vessel (and theirs) must display an anchor light unless in a designated anchorage. Again, if you need the legalese, I’ll get it for you.<br /><br />GhostAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
