I prefer to be passed in the rear, but that isn't always practical. If it is a very light wind day, a wake can stop a sail boat in its tracks. What I really appreciate is when folks in a powerboat slow down around me, especially if I'm raising or lowering the sails. Standing up on the cabin roof and being rolled by a fast boat is an interesting experience.
I thought the comment about sail boats being near the shore was a good one.
Some of the sail boats have fairly deep keels and I for one like to avoid finding new rocks for the Bizer's maps! Particularly around Fish Island.
