[quote=MN3]IMHO the statement "it is better to just drive"is only an expression and a bit tongue and cheek as no one could sail a boat without touching sheets - but the point is "sit down, sit still, stop fiddling with everything and drive" and is right on the money
in light air i get my ass kicked by a 72 year old all the time. he basically lies down on his gcat5.0 and steers as little and sheets as little as possible.
I am getting much better (after sailing behind him for a decade now) but i am still setting and resetting sails, travlers, and the cooler lids a lot more than he does, and I can hear him chuckle from ahead, or as he is passing me. he can also point that freakin thing 20* higher than me.[/quote]
