was that stecz piloting that beauty? he should have punched it for that extra burst of speed lol

not one but two idiots in sail boats trying to beat that bridge lol.

It very well could have been the bridge operator's fault. Usually, you can't stop and reverse the process, especially lowering--due to weight and momentum. If the bridge was opened for them; they proceeded forward, and then the bridge started closing--there isn't much one could have done. They do not have powerful motors, even if the first sailboat had thrown it in full reverse. The second sailboater knew his boat could avoid the collision better with the rudder.

Yeah and they think they have right of way under power also
Had one cut in front of me off the Port side and said larger boat has right away but after he saw I was 42' he turned red.
Just missed each other by inches.

Funny **** There.....

I think the light turns red on its way down.

knocked off his lighting rod....poor fellow

Seems like a win to me. With that windshield, no mast, and its own power maybe he'll be mistaken for a power-boater and get made fun of less

That would have been crazy wild if the bridge grabbed his lighting rod like a pair of vise grips.

At least now he can make it under the bridge. Kinda like holiday traffic up here, a race to be the leader.
