"BAD BOYS"? I'm sure most us of know what I mean Remember guys! this is hersailnet

(insert song "bad to the bone" here)

Personally I feel they are gentlemen from my limited experience in sailing but then, I never was a great judge of character!

Depends upon their sailing status. I grew up in Newport, RI, home of the America's Cup for well over 100 years. As a boy, I envied the life and celebrity status these sailors had. They could get any local girl they wanted . . . (expletives deleted (g)

Try reading the "life in the fast lane" story on the learn to sail forum! That's a sailing mans story. Bring your gas mask.

When I bought my first boat the seller said (I was 22, youngest live-aboard in Boston) "Women are taught to say "no" when you say "let's go back to my place", but they've never been taught that about boats."

Well, I've encountered several characters, not sure if they're bad or not. Everybody's bad - or good

- at something, right? I think I'd have to agree though that the nature of sailing attracts the people with the most "fun tickets" - not necessarily the best behaved.
