Swerving left "generally" is not advised. That was a great accident investigative report. Pointed out the Vessel B did not stop to avoid either. Vessel A made tons of errors, and it was mazing nobody was hurt in the smaller boat, probably because of seated positions, unlike the CC boat. Textbook case of why the original accident in this thread was also avoidable.
Also a very nice summation of all the rules and navigation regs that were broken.
