Obstacle avoidance in emergency situations is dependent on a boat driver's ability to respond to the situation in a safe manner. What is safe quite often depends on responses taken by the driver. This report describes the investigation undertaken into the driver responses to a simulated emergency situation. The particular scope is interdependences of maximum roll angle change and initial roll angle changes, initial yaw angle change, success/failure rate, initial rate of motor angle change, and time for maximum roll change with the type of throttle control used.
