I think
Hilux is saying he was moored/at anchor at the time.

if you were anchored
then yeah, it sounds as though they were too close.
But if you were not anchored, you have to make sure you avoid the yatch as you are in a powered (motor driven) vehicle and they are not. Hence why I was trying to clarify.

Give them a phone call and ask,just to clarify it,I believe that since you were anchored and as long as it was not a designated channel they must give you a clear distance and to go that close is not on,Yatching people think that they have right of way at all times ,but not in this situation? had it been divers with a flag up they must cut speed and pass at a safe distance,and as yachts do not make a lot of noise under way and can fairly move they could just as easily hit a diver jersey
