You guys seem to forget that any uneducated beer swilling moron with a checkbook can buy a powerboat and manage to steer it into your favorite sailing areas.

The same moron who buys a sailboat usually stays darn close to where he started from.

This, by simple nature of the ease of mastering the raw basics of making a powerboat "go", will ensure that you run across more nautically illiterate powerboaters than you will similarly clueless sailors.

We powerboaters hate that fact as much as you sailors do.

Our benefit is that we can get clear of them FAR easier than you can...
