You must not have sailed San Francisco bay. I have heard sailors laugh
about going in front of a freighter and saying they had the right of way.
Amazing Darwin does not get more of them.

underway again.

I think you have a vastly mistaken idea about what sailboats can & can't
do. No
doubt a lot of sailors do too; but the fact remains that I have been
sailing for
over 40 years now and have never once met any sailor who deliberately
tacked in
front of a motorboat. So who is the idiot/asshole now?
