It would be useful to systematically analyze recreational boat grounding incidents. I don't know if anyone collects such data with a view to prevention by better navigation. It would be one way of finding out whether boaters in our type of setting (coastal piloting) would benefit from more rigorous piloting practices and skill. I have no idea how that would be done, though. Is there be any navigation literature where such studies are published?
