At best, ksanders examples sound like contributory negligence rather than exculpation. It`s like colliding with a car you can easily see and avoid parked in a no parking zone,and claiming the parked car is 100% at fault. You know it`s there, you have to deal with it safely. BruceK

Relating ANYTHING boating to anything motor vehicle to me is totally irrelavent...thankfully maritime couts and hearings generally know the extreme difference and civil courts often follow their lead.
