Terrible situation. Unsure of the details yet.
A Cat with the right wind can really, really crank fast. And racing they are right out on the edge of flipping or breaking (and often both).

Never forget drifting in buzz bay alone and having a sailboat come up and scream at me for being on the race course. Not another vessel in sight.

I’ve been yelled at a few times around Newport and I always give them the finger. It’s the “that’s my rock” mentality. Self entitled pricks

Hey in my youth some of the most fun I had was several days after a strong storm with leftover big swells but boat length or two spacing. Give me a steady 15 knot I’d be screaming in fun, hanging out of the trapeze, and surfing those swells with that planning hull.

Sad story around these parts.
Blow boats Vs power boats. Like Skiers vs snowboarders. A rivalry for eternity.

If you were drifting and not under power and the sailboat was under motor power he absolutely does not have the right of way. I think even if you were drifting and not under power and he had good headway speed under sail he would be the boat required to adjust course, at least that to me is just common sense.

if you are drifting for fluke you have to realize that the average blow boater has no idea what you are doing. 50% of people are dumber than you. And the other half are even dumber 😂

This story is exactly why I idle my motor the entire time I am drifting for fluke. Many times I have to set the rod in the holder, throw the boat in gear and move. to get out of the way of someone either not paying attention or just being overly aggressive. These A hole boaters are the same idiots flying over the bridges at 70 mph zig zagging through traffic in their full size pick up trucks. I don't trust their driving on the road, so I don't expect them to be any safer on the water.
