A lot of it is a perception issue. People in larger, faster boats are
percieved as being arrogant, particularly if they are well dressed or
in the company of good looking women. If they inconvenience or
discomfit us, they are percieved as being ignorant. Take that same
person and put him down on your level in a sailboat and all of a
sudden he is an educated, well spoken, all around nice guy.

Perceptions.
