Hello Petra,

I like you have a passion for sailing and I wanted my daughters to experience it. Unfortunately, my two daughters (middle and youngest) had a bad experience, aboard my friends sailboat. To make a long story short, my middle daughter will not step aboard a sailboat since this accident and my youngest daughter will only to make mom happy. The only way I was able to convince her was with time and training. I enrolled her and my husband and myself into a sailing training school. She still struggles with it, as I was only able to get her out last season for only one sail. So depending on the scope of the "fear", she may never feel comfortable aboard a sailboat. See my web page and look under our old sailboat Fagel Attraction I for the story of her attending a sailing school. Http://www.angelfire.com/mi/fagelattraction

Fair winds,
Liz
