i don't know where all this blowboat hate comes from.

every sailor i know has TONS of knowledge and respect.

All of these insults and insinuations hurt. Seriously.

Do you ever think that maybe they get washed up because there are way more of them on the balls then powerboats? And they have a huge profile above and below the waterline?

no excuse ZAC .

just plain stupid ;;

hate / not hate >. if it was & by me I,d go out of my way to sink them ;;

My issue is from a commercial standpoint ;;

Whenever I dug /where ever I dug the would use me as their tack point / many times 30+ footers /crusing past me /within 50 ft & the wind blowin 20 or more // & that,s not a isolated insident//

Also have you ever noticed how many of the boats that are hung up on something / be it a reef, net , sandbar , Are blowboats >>> if they are that [GOOD} sailors /& with electronics / its seems I see them alot more than any other sea craft ????

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

you guys have a lot more time on the water than me, so I guess its true. but if a 20-25 ft. center center console had a draft of 3' they would be littered all over the bay.

i promise you more retarded powerboats go cruising over rocks and bars without a clue, but are lucky because they only draw 18"

i always see more yahoos in powerboats. taking chances. doing stupid things. anchoring in front of my drift. not paying attention. Drinking and driving. typical weekend warior went down to the dealer and financed their boat, no clue bufoons.

Very true, but they tend to do stupid stuff mainly impacting them selves. very rare was a close call with a powerboat, 90/10 on the side of sail. Normally when they DIDNT have the ROW but thought they did.
