The other issue that I have with your description of events could
delicately be described as somewhat attitudinal, particularly with
regard to socio-economic status and means of propulsion.

So what? My attitude (which is not exactly as you describe since I
didn't spend a lifetime around boats and airplanes without some
tolerance for people with money) is irrelevant to the outcome if
anyone crossing the master of this boat in the future. His attitude
however, could have great bearing on the situation.

BTW I've been primarily a powerboat designer for most of my career.
