The rediculous gits who feel obliged to sail close to the sub get what they ask for when they try to cut across our path. Essentially, they feel that 'Sail before Steam' trumps the laws of physics that dictate the stopping distance of a several thousand ton sub. The funny thing is, that if you actually slow the sub significantly, your bow wave disappears, and you ram the sailboat. If you maintain ahead 2/3 or ahead standard, they slide off the bow wave, a little shaken, but undamaged.
