Secret to happiness in a sailing couple - the guy keeps a 4 inch piece of teak in his pocket and whenever his other half asks something less than intelligent, he bites hard on the teak until he is able to patiently answer her question and give encouraging guidance. After a while she will learn - nobody gets it all instantly - and you will learn to hold your tongue until you can respond with respect and compassion.
