Idiot AND asshole. I've seen blowboaters do it before, laughing all the time

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?
