Not under command?
Posted 2020, Jun 13 04:17
I assume a boat at anchor qualifies as "not under command"? The reason I ask is because when I did the free course, I had a mistake whereby a boat "adrift" apparently did NOT qualify as "not under command". This surprised me, because when I hear "adrift", I think that either the boat got loose and has no crew or something is wrong (like rudder missing). So I don't understand why that boat would be give-way under the rules.
