As a general boating rule, the more power and speed a boat has, the "crew"

Hmm? Don't you have those "Wave Runners" down there? Kids rent them on the
beach and don't know anything about the "rules of the road". Some think it is
real fun to swerve in front of small sail or rowing boats and throw water into
and onto them.
I like sailboats and sail planes, both using the forces nature gives us to
accomplish our goals.
