For Bill McKee... Hey! Look Everybody

When was the last time a sailboat made a large wake too close to another boat? Obviously part of your problem is resentment against sailboats. Personally, as a curtesy I keep away from boats that are fishing. For one thing, I don't like monofilament wrapped around my keel or rudder. If our course is such that I have a reason to pass them close, like say for example they pulled to a stop and thew lines out right in front of me (which has happened dozens of times) then I will try to pass them to leeward where the lines are not. I have even given up a place in a race once or twice to give reasonable passing distance for fishing boats, although I know a number of other racers are far less curteous. Now what do you suggest about fishermen who think that a racing mark makes a handy place to tie up & fish a while, then scream bloody murder at the sailboats as they zip by very close (6" is about right).
