I don't find any gender based differences in the learning curves of the kids
that sail on Overproof. They all seem to be eager to learn and enjoy the
responsibilities that come with knowledge gained.
Some kids are quicker studies in some aspects but it generally levels itself
out.

I can't say I have seen much difference between adult men and women in
regards to learning to sail either... except maybe that some are quicker
studies than others. Nothing gender based though.

I've never had a problem aboard since I never raise my voice to crew unless
it's due to prevention of a dangerous situation... and never in anger. I
always explain things and expect input from the crew at all times.
