Anyone come across this super catamaran last week in BVI. The captain is either a moron who has no understanding of COLREGS or figures that since he is 'sailing" a multi million dollar yacht the rules do not apply to him. Last week we were under full sail, starboard tack going by the Baths. Sailing was awesome and we were going along at about 7.5kn on a 47 mono. This piece of work comes out of the Baths heading under power, toward Trellis and nearly runs us down. I have him full visual, no question he sees me, but never attempt to change course, we need to bear off 90 degrees to avoid collision. Two days later he's at anchor in Anegada, right in the middle of the channel, obscuring the the bouys for those who were exiting the anchorage. Too bad it wasnt US flagged, would have filed a complaint. Unbelievable.
