we were trapped with a spin out and the opti chase boats cut us off accross our bow and bullhored us to get out of their race. We were not in their race and when we yelled "WE are in a race" they said BS!!!
I did about 5 macho man races when I owned my N20. I think 4 of those races ended up going through an Opti race course right there at the inlet. For the most part, they left us alone. Once the PRO boat drove up on us, but didn't give us a hard time because we ripped through one side of the course while the boats were on the other side...
Personally, I'm glad to see boats out there racing, and will gladly duck them if I think I'm going to be a problem on their course. Mainly, though, I'm happy to show off multi-speed for those guys, who I hope will eventually become multi-sailors...
