I absolutely agree that the experience would be wonderful but it won't be happening with her crewing a race boat!

We've been sailing every good day so far (not many of those up in Maine this year so far ) and with time I think I'll understand the limits of the boat, I just wasn't sure how far was to far.

A friend of mine said if the leeward rail is getting wet - sheet out.
