: Btw, it's not just powerboats, while I'm a sailor too, if the wind
: is up, you can be completely invisible behind the sails, sail
: boats can normally only see to windward, worth remembering.
FWIW, a good sailing breeze does not exempt anyone from having to maintain a proper lookout. But, as I said before, even sailors will ignore the law and just plain good common sense and collisions between sailboats are not that uncommon as a consequence.
Sailboats can almost be more of a threat to kayakers than powerboats because they are harder to hear coming. Remember to look behind you on a regular basis.
