Yes. Also the jet boat failed to regulate his speed to the visibility conditions. There are simply no excuses for what happened.

Maybe; but when I did my masters the 5 knot rule was universal. I may be out of date now but the enquiry findings seem to support that that law still applies.
Nav laws dictate true right and left in channels but also not to exceed 5knots within 30m of another vessel. This law is being constantly broken on NZ waterways.
Absolutely agree. The findings really are a condemnation of DoC and the skipper and crewman amongst other things. Disgraceful.
What to do and what Not to do.
