It's worth it to lay a line or to make a mark, but no one is happy about the shivering sails.

I have noticed that while my cruising tactics are strongly influenced by my racing experiences in the sense that I try to sail in an effective and disciplined matter, I also mutter "oh, to hell with it, fall off" more frequently.

Can't say it's ruined my sailing life, really.
