Dangerous boating

How many people need to scream at the guy before he gets the hint? Im no professional but the guy was an ignorant a-hole! After i screamed at him he buzzed off into the fleet kicking a pretty large wake while he went to circle another boat that was catching fish. For the hour i saw him he threw his tiny grapple 7 or 8 times dangerously close to my anchor line, a center console of my port side, and then he proceeded to almost take out a charter boat. there is no need for that crap when there is a nice 4-5 foot swell.

Maybe he could snag someone else's anchor line and use that? Plenty of clueless out there.

Speaking of clueless, anyone hear details on that pontoon boat that flipped outside Manasquan Friday? I like to teach lesson learned in my classes.

Contrary to a few posts, pontoon boats do NOT have a high center of gravity. The only high weight is all passengers running to one side in a beam to sea.

Any news? Sad event. Incoming swells vs outgoing tide. Ride the slot.

In hull design, the "Pontoon Effect" refers to boats with high CG that capsize readily with relatively small lateral forces.

The only weight below the water line is a few hundred lbs of aluminum. That works a lot different than something like a trawler with 70% of its weight below the water line.
