Women sailing
Hi there - we just found this list, which is exicitng and useful.
We are two women, living in the UK, planning to go cruising soon.
At the moment our first boat is on the market and we are looking for
the right boat for the move. In the menatime, we are working on a
huge range of things to get right, from going up the mast, to
industrial sewing machines. And from money to riding out heavy
weather.
Whilst there''s lots of info on all those issues, and we''re
enjoying looking at all the advice, we have found very little on
women sailing alone/as a twosome without a male skipper/companion.
We think there may be some specific implications for us, and we are
interested to hear from other women ''out there'' (with or without men
aboard) about their experiences and views.
Does being two women make a difference? if so, what differences,
and what tips do sailors have on the issues?
Thanks for any input/thoughts/wisdom
