It is the definition of Risk Management.

 

Yachties do a similar risk management to aviators. Keep away from the edges of your transport fluid.

 

Also, they notice all kinds of noisy disturbances. Things like jetskis and flying machines are dangerous and annoying.

Good Pilots take to SAILING like a duck to water.  Nev
