It was I who made the socialism==communism remark, as a jest.

Regarding typical redneck behaviour, I was under the impression that the other rednecks on the beach would quickly pull out their assorted military grade assault weapons and blast the offender to smithereens..

On public beaches, no motorized vessels are allowed close to the beach with engines running. Usually the no-motor zone is marked with yellow buyos, which are great to "slalom" for tack/jibe exercises (not many swimmers out there when the sailing is good).
If there are no markers, vessels approaching are required to slow down to 5 knots and stay clear of people in the water. That goes for cats as well. Most public beaches are closed off or fenced off to stop vehicles from driving on the beach. But getting a cat in is no problem. As are dinghys, windsurfers, kiteboards etc. But as most clubs have room for mast-up storage, there is usually no need to do much trailer sailing.

It is not heaven over here, but I like it (except for the lack of proper daylight during winter here at 63degrees north).
