Since you made this post, every time I go by an exit ramp on the highway or a rotary I say to myself, I bet that Winnipesaukee would stop here even though he has the right of way. I think that it is much safer to yield when you are supposed to and stand on when it is appropriate. If everyone yields and tries to go behind the other boat, it translates into a head on collision. When I am the give way boat I want to stay at speed and simply turn behind you. If you turn or slow, I have to stop as I can not predict what the heck you are up to.
If I don't yield then by all means do what you have to do. I am hoping that is what you mean in your later post.
