The powerboats failed to give way.

An entire gaggle of power boats - just stopped as the big sailing boats came down on them. Wrong.

Just dead wrong to put the racers aimed at the crowd and the harbor boat. But I do like how she came right to push the stern over, then flipped the rudder and forced the stern the other way to get by the second powerboat.

Basic rule of the road in boating. These sailboats are cooking right along, not typical.

Hope that idiot tour boat captain got canned for that stunt. No doubt the owner guaranteed a close view of the racers.
