Agree zee, sailboat will probably only do 6 knots. Watched again, that small powerboat was an idiot. Did you see the people in the dingy??!! Sailboater wasn't too bright either, shouldn't have made the attempt. A learning video! Man did he fly once he turned around..lol

definitely a point of extreme rudeness on the part of the stinkpotter---but how wise was the sailboater trying to go against an extreme current???? needs bigger engine on his rear......

Yeah, I think they could have given him a wider berth, maybe not. Maybe they needed to be going faster than headway speed? Wonder if anyone knows about how fast that current is? I'm guessing 6- 8k.
