Sail boats have the right of way so the rest have to stay sober to
miss them )

I wonder what would be the law if he was in a sail boat and sailed in
front of the float plane???????????

Sailboat has right of way, unless it's a narrow channel, or the aircraft has
to keep a certain orientation to a strong wind, etc, etc.
But just as in the air, it is the pilot's/skippers responsibility at all
times to avoid a collision, notwithstanding the right-of-way rules.
