I have got to get better about this myself. I didn't on Saturday and at one point, I got away with something stupid - flipping up and fastening the boarding ladder while motoring out. Right after I sat down we hit a wave at an angle that made the stern dance a little. The "what if" scenarios with that are not good. It was just me and my 8 year old triplets. Hannah could probably steer well enough to turn around and run me over (isn't that comforting
).
The biggest problem I am having with SH is tangling the jib sheets. All it takes is to be about a half second off in timing and they are a mess.
