Yup, they subscribe to the "biggest wins" theory. I was going through Woods Hole last weekend. I had two sailboats in front of me and 3 small sailing dingies going all over the place. I'm trying to weave my way through without running somone over. In the mean time, I have a trawler coming in from behind me that wants to go into Woods Hole Harbor and just leans on the horn and keeps on coming. As he continued to bear down on me to now about 40', I was finally able to squeek by the sailboat and head on out towards the Vineyard ... but not a moment too soon. The fact that I had no place to manuver didn't matter to him. He was coming regardless. At that point, had I not been able to get by, I don't think he would have been able to avoid running me down due to that fact that he still had too much speed and was too close to stop/slow in time.

Same rules, I'm bigger, get the f*&^ out of the way.
