Just to be clear the people not following the rules of the road are not the little sailboats. As ITD says they always are stand on vessels. Everyone crawls in there so there is never any real danger. It is fun to watch two boats "race" at headway speed towards the channel or a large power boat with a mast try to bully their way in front of bowriders.
BTW I'm avoiding avoiding using the plain English term right of way because it's a red flag.
