Do you have a point here? Sharing a little information and adding to the
participants in our sport(or what ever you wish to call it) seems to me a
good thing. Passing on information through books, on the internet, through
conversation or such is one of the things that seperates us from lower life
forms."Nav" wrote in message

I see. Are you perhaps an advocate of the "sit on your fat behind and
let someone else do the work for you" method of education?

Can't answer the question can you?

A sailor knows how to use the tools at his/her disposal. Try a google
search for such elementary questions and then ask harder questions
here.

I have a question. How do you make a sailing boat go when the wind

the boat can't go and that when it is blowing from the back it will
push you through the water. But when the wind is coming from your
side what keeps the wind from blowing you sideways?

I am interested in learning to sail a boat and want to buy my own
little one first. What would be better, a runabout or one of those
little ones with a little cabin underneath?
