I try to sail with as many captains as possible and I've noticed a fairly consistent behavior. Almost everyone is particularly attentive to certain things and after prompting I find out for a very good reason.

The guy that lost his rig is really carefull to check the head stay tang. The guy that lost his engine is really careful to check the oil every single time. The guy that wrapped his prop is hiper-vigilant to keep all lines out of the water.

So what is your obsession and why?
