Rule 17 - Action by Stand-on Vessel

"Where one of two vessels is to keep out of the way the other shall keep her
course and speed."

So not only is it inadvisable to tack right in front of another boat, power
or sail notwithstanding, it's also illegal.

I'll go with idiot. To make a 90 degree turn in front of any boat just
because you are are a sailboat or any boat shows immense lack of boating
skills, as well as a brain to know you do not know enough.
