Wow! I'm impressed. Very well written. Sounds like something you'd read out of a book. Did you get it
out of a book or did you just write it on the spot?

Actually, I've frequently pondered the question of human powered
privilege, ever since a bozo on a kayak yelled at me that as the
smaller boat he obviously had right of way.

One of the longest threads in recent years on this forum concerned the
prudence and legality of a kayak crossing the English Channel in the
fog.

So, the answer is your probably still a sailboat. So you
can't really go wrong following the sailboat rules.

Actually, in practice you'd be well advised to give a wide berth to
the nutcase rowing with the sails up.

Thank you very much for such a complete answer. Your
a credit to this newsgroup.
