Another 41.1 from Harbor Sailboat Charters runs into the Midway. This is two in a year. I've chartered from them and they are a solid outfit. Bet their skipper's briefing now includes a no-fly zone around the carrier.
Indeed. Must have spoofed that fancy B&G RADAR.That carrier must have its stealth cloaking turned on ! Easy to miss that thing !
I use the term "C3" for Credit Card Captain. Same idea
You do understand that the Midway is decommissioned and permanently moored to the side of navy Pier? ;^)I expect the Midway would be a vessel constrained by her Draft and so would have the right of way over our sailing vessels. And of course there is always the BST rule. Smaller vessels should always steer clear of any Big Steel Things, even if they do have the right of way.
That only makes it an easier target.permanently moored to the side of navy Pier
As far as I can remember, there is no practical zone at all. We sailed fairly close in December and no one batted an eye. Unlike the flat-tops across the bay, where even appearing like you want to get too close draws immediate attention.That only makes it an easier target.
Perhaps they need a bigger “exclusion Zone”..
Docked is a bit of an understatement, she's welded to the wall! ;^) But to your point, the two boat hit the bull-horn structures that stick out from the bow designed to catch launch bridles on older jets. Seemed that wanted a close-in look. They got it!Jackdaw,
yes, I knew she has been docked for quite some time. Visited her a few years back. Not sure how a even a CCC could get close enough to do the damage shown. There just isn't anything too see when you get that close except a big grey wall. the best few is several hundred yards away.

It would seem that autocorrect has become your worst enema.... the two boat hit the bull-horn structures ... Seemed that wanted a close-in look. ...
LOL indeed. It’s either autocorrect or Siri. Or the new keyboard I got for my Linux machine. Cannot get used to it!It would seem that autocorrect has become your worst enema.
