Reply to: Sailing With Your Spouse

[quote=tami]It's been my observation that: --fellas never bother to actually teach their SO how to sail, and then get frustrated when the SO doesn't have a clue. Teach the poor girl HOW to sail, she might just save your ass one day, and at the very least will enjoy the experience of sailing more fully. --fellas never PRACTICE FLIPPING THE BOAT. So SO is terrified of what is actually a relatively commonplace experience and will be clueless in the situation. That includes also knowing how to get back on the boat as Paul has mentioned. There are techniques other than just hauling yourself up. F'rinstance, using the dolphin striker as a step or going over the aft crossbar which is closer to the water. I can't count the times that girls have come up to me to ask questions that AFAIC their beaux should have answered for them early in the sailing experience. Here's yer sign: WHATEVER HAPPENS ON THE BOAT IS THE SKIPPER'S FAULT. If the crew is inexperienced and makes mistakes, it's still the skipper's fault, because the skipper should have taken steps to compensate for the inexperience.[/quote]
