Zacs:
FWIW
Your confusing sailors with sail boat owners: Not always one and the same, on either side of the coin (power or sail)
I tend to lump 'rag boaters' as the weekend warrior, non-rule of the road knowing jack-as$, not real sailors...
but havine worked commercially on the bay for 10+ years, we were constantly a target, even from 'sailors' SRU racing etc. who liked to tack right infront of me in brenton cove... when it was blowing NW 20+ so I'm slightly bitter at times....
