NamKangMan Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I've been "close" to an incident like this. It would help to know what time this happened. If it was night time, i'd put money on the Thai vessel having no navigation aids, and the captain was probably enjoying a few jars. The super yacht would have had a manned bridge, and radar i guess. Paying for compensation would be normal practise, and a nice gesture from the captain, as this would be the Thai subsistence method. Daytime, apparently there is no doubt the yacht was at fault. As I understand it, small makes way for big and motor makes way for sail? And Captains and Owners always attend onboard parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchClark Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Good thing the fishing vessels was not manned by Ethiopian pirates. That would be hard as Ethiopia is a land-locked country. Perchance do you mean Somali pirates? Even more reason for the statement above. Ethiopian pirates must be some of the worst boatman in the entire world.

northernphil Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 'iron wood hulled phinisi ' What is this in English please ? Well.......you could use Google. Iron wood, a common name given to many different woods, but, all have the properties of being hard and dense. A Phinisi is a traditional sailing vessel from Indonesia, closely associated with Makassar (Ujung Pandang) on the island of Sulawesi. Therefore, iron wood hulled Phinisi is a traditional Indonesian sailing boat with a very hard wooden hull. You're welcome. Maybe I should of googled but my English dictionary still only mentions iron and wood pages apart ,there is no iron wood nor Phinisi , I suppose it might appear in an Indonesian dictionary. Cheers anyway, I need to look no further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
