Smaller boats have priority over larger boats, but in a ferry lane, the ferry always has highest priority. Source: I was talking to a man who owned a boat three days ago.

Solice Kirsk posted:I may be wrong, but isn't there a "might = right" rule for ships/boats? Like bigger vessel always has right of way. I think there's generally an exception for sail-powered craft, which are less immediately maneuverable than small powerboats. There are apparently bunches of specific rules. http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=navRulesFAQ#0.3_5

Bogatyr posted:Wouldn't be surprised. I am no boater but my superficial understanding of right of way was that "Nap time" had right of way if you disregard all the other conditions involved in right of way other than simply direction of travel... Little boat gives way for ferry, because, you know, inertia. As a licensed powered pleasure boat operator (laaaaaadiiies) I can tell you that the ferry was stand-on (had right of way) because (1) it's a ferry and (2) it's in a narrow channel, which restricts its maneuverability, and (3) its maneuverability is further restricted because it's carrying cars and stuff. Also if the ferry was in a defined channel (as it almost certainly was, being...a ferry) all other craft attempting to cross the channel like Nap Tyme did would have to give way. Nap Tyme would only have had right of way due to approach angles if the two ships were unladen and travelling outside of active channels and one wasn't a ferry, and even then you're still kinda dumb if you expect the ship that outweighs you by two orders of magnitude to stop for you. here is a neat chart. the higher you are the more priority you have  e: desperately beaten Sagebrush has a new favorite as of 05:55 on Dec 6, 2016 |

The theater looks a hell of a lot like one here, and even if it isn't I can only assume it suffers from the same problem where birds will just fly in as soon as the door opens to feast on spilled popcorn. Cartoonishly fat sparrows are super cute.

Also if the ferry was in a defined channel (as it almost certainly was, being...a ferry) all other craft attempting to cross the channel like Nap Tyme did would have to give way. Most of you folks are very close to what the rules actually say. However, there is no such thing as right of way. You don't have a right to keep going, and just plow into another vessel, regardless of the circumstances. The rules (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 (Colregs)) designate a give way vessel and a stand on vessel. They don't give anyone a "right" of way. Rule 17(b) posted:When, from any cause, the vessel required to keep her course and speed finds herself so close that collision cannot be avoided by the action of the give-way vessel alone, she shall take such action as will best aid to avoid collision. Rule 5 posted:Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision. edited to add: None of the above really contradicts what Sagebrush wrote. I'm just nit picking their choice of words. vvvvvv Yeah, the ferry was doing what they were supposed to do. B33rChiller has a new favorite as of 08:55 on Dec 6, 2016 |

The ferry was trying to slow down at the time of collision. It’s just that ships that size aren’t very good at slowing down in a hurry.

That boat thing reminds me of the guy at Disney who crashed into a ferry. He and his wife had rented one of these: and crashed into one of these:  The worst part is the guy admitted to seeing the ferry coming, but thought it was farther away and didn't try to turn until it was on top of him because I guess he has no depth perception? He put his boat under the ferry and hospitalized his wife because he drove around too close to bigger boats, which they expressly tell you not to when you rent them. As far as I know, nobody has crashed into the Magic Kingdom ferry yet. Probably because they're often watched by Disney "coast guard".

Judging speed and distance of objects on water can be surprisingly hard if you aren't at all used to it, as I imagine that guy wasn't.

Pharnakes posted:Judging speed and distance of objects on water can be surprisingly hard if you aren't at all used to it, as I imagine that guy wasn't. General rule of thumb for boating is if the ship in question isn't changing its position relative to your line of sight you're on a collision course. Watch that video where the smaller boat stays at a fixed angle just about up to impact.
