Sure thing. My chosen profession is to make sailboats go faster and be easier to sail. Unfortunately, most folks never ask. I used to volunteer lots of info...
In my last post I used the term "if they will let it be". Most people seem to have comfort zone that is a psycological barrior to improving their sailing...
I agree on some points, but have learned to look at sailing a little differently more recently. Maybe the distinction is between sailing and racing. I've...
You are correct in the distiction for most people who sail but don't race. My main objective is to help competitive [racing] sailors be more competitive, and...
...thistles...I'm so glad they were a part of my training. Pain was the game. Hanging out with Dave making my sails was good toooooo. John still trims a good...
Got you on the mental aspect of racing. I never felt like there wasn't room for improvement in my racing skills. I think one thing that needs to also be...

Can somebody please explain to me how to sail a typical Olympic course when you have to factor in tides and currents? I've tried to understand this, but don't...
Karen, the point may be moot because most of the sailing clubs in the counrty DON'T SAIL triangles anymore [unlike the dinosaurs at GMSC] for a few very good...
It's a fact of life that not everyone can play piano even with years of lessons [both of my sisters!] and not everyone can really learn to sail let alone ever...
True... as a teacher, it's just frustrating because I want them to know that feel of when you intuitively know that you need to shift weight or trim sails. KK ...
