Spoken like a true powerboater. While that may make

The problem is that many sailors think that all
powerboaters leaving a
wake are irresponsible just because the wake
inconveniences them in
some way, and don't even get me started on sailboats who
expect the
right-of-way while under power, or who suddenly tack in
front of a
moving powerboat and demand the right-of-way.


Yes, it must be so difficult for you to turn that wheel a
bit. Do you have limp wrists?


Fortunately most of
them seem to understand that five blasts on the air horn
is a danger
signal.

Oh brother, I've seen this type before, blasting through a
crowd of boats, air horns and all.

Would you tack in front of a freighter or cruise ship and expect them
to alter course for you? The issues are the same, only on a different
scale.

See Colregs Rule 17 (a) (i)

Rule 17

Action by Stand-on Vessel

(a)

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

Of course not, don't be ridiculous. Not germane to this
discussion.

Hardly!

Oh, the same but different, huh?

Pot kettle black. Go back to your toy boat and continue whinning.

Carry on.

What is the size limit for a ''toy boat''?

You sound like a 2nd grade bully.
