Which is why I sail boats of a size that require rigging and derigging about once a year.

true, as I sail mainly 20 footers(or less ), but I keep it at the yacht club, so I only have to rig it once a season I just hate it when the guys with million dollar boats give me snobby looks.

Starboard tack is a good one for that. Just keep cutting them up intill they get really pissed off.

As I mainly sail on classic boats I don't get much trouble from people giving snobby looks. Because I'll usually be on the rarer, better looking boat.

If he was in a feckin' big gin palace then you had right of way in all circumstances. So if he hit you then he would have been completely to blame. But yeah, no sailor likes that sort.

Where abouts do you sail?
