Damaging sails by lack of proper care. (flogging, incorrect storage)
Loss of gear overboard
Overshooting moorings and wiping out other vessels/grounding etc
Rig/sail damage due to over canvassing and/or inability to handle strong
winds
Dinghy sinking by mother boat
Rig or "head" damage through uncontrolled gybes (jibes. U.S)


That's a few quickies of the top of my head. But others here might like to
add some. We've all made mistakes.

Oh yeah.... how could I forget- Spilt beer!!!
