I Don’t Believe It !!!!

I have 2 absolute favourites both from my time in Plymouth.

First one during a windy RWYC race the chairman of NCPs 100 foot super yacht 'Leander'  decides in anchor in the sound between the top and the bottom mark.  So imagine the look on the crews face as lots of yachts from J-24 upwards come hurtling downwind with the occasional broach thrown in for good measure and at the last moment either nip round the front or back (bow or stern for any of you nautically obsessed types!) of this pristine blue hulled lovely.  He had every right to moor there but being a professional the skipper decided to move over to cawsands bay from a while!!

There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity, in my opinion sailors should not engage in any 'conversation' with powerboaters as it always ends up with yelling and abuse just because of the distance involved. Any interaction should be carried out by the safety boat as it has more presence on the water and in most clubs looks official. Explaining what they did wrong is much more likely to stop them doing it again than yelling at them.

Did you have to complete a test before you were allowed on the water? I doubt it.

I'm not picking on you jpbuzz it's just that your post seems to have distilled the sentiment of the thread.
