Yes, Powerboaters and Sailboaters *can* be Friends!

Boat U.S. is a great organization that does a lot for boating in the States and around the world.

They recently published this article on boating etiquette that I felt was worth sharing.

It’s a great read to better understand how wakes impact all watercraft differently (yes, power and sail).

My favorite quote from the article: “Almost nobody consciously wants to ruin the day of another boater, be they a wind-meister or a master-caster. Misunderstanding of and simple unfamiliarity with the other’s needs and desires is the root cause of virtually all sail-versus-power conflicts. In the interest of bringing peace to Earth (or at least its waterways) we decided to spell out three things that each type of boater rarely understands about the other.”
