Yup, a safe perspective to have. It surprises me how few (if any) bumps
there are between dinghies when they're at such close quarters.

Dinghy sailors DO have a clue most of the time.

I guess so. Being so small, they're quite vulnerable and, although the
occasional swim is part of dinghy life, going swimming isn't desired, as
such, and certainly not in a collision situation. One of my overriding
colregs when dinghy sailing is 'stay out of the way of the big boats'.


It's the big boats and their
owners who are cause for defensive tactics.

Why would that be? Does the owner's stupidity or arrogance increase with
boat size?
